Countries Whose Capitals I Have Not Visited
Updated October 01, 2023
This is a bit of fun: Countries whose capitals I have NOT visited.
Sure there will be a few surprises as the capitals are not always so obvious.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire. The port city of Abidjan is the economic capital. I have been to both.
Austria. I have not visited Vienna despite having visited Graz, Salzburg and spending 7 days hiking in the mountains in the west of the country.
Croatia. Zagreb. Doesn't hold much appeal. I have been in Split, Rijeka and Dubrovnik.
Guinea. Conakry. The city is a mess. Heading south from Dalaba, when I got to Coyah, I turned southeast towards the border with Sierra Leone.
India. New Delhi. Spent a few very frustrating hours in the airport after Air India pilots went on strike. No desire to visit the capital despite having spent 6 months over 2 trips in India.
Indonesia. Jakarta. This city is also a mess but am interested to visit, surprisingly.
Italy. Rome. Shame on me!
Kazakhstan. Nur-Sultan, formerly Astana.
Malawi. Lilongwe. Next time eh!
Mozambique. Maputo. Next time eh!
Burma. Nay Pyi Taw. When I visited Burma, Yangon was the capital.
Nicaragua. Managua
Tanzania. Dodoma. This one will catch you out. The Capital of Tanzania is NOT Dar es Salaam. Was planning on going here but you know. #FuckCovid.
United States. Washington DC
Zimbabwe. Harare. I crossed into Zimbabwe at Mutari and then went to Chimanimani, the Great Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls
Botswana: Gaborone
Namibia: Windhoek. The only town I visited in Namibia was Katima Mulilo and didn't even blog about it.
