While the year draws to a cold and gray close in Germany, São Tomé e Príncipe has a wonderful tradition of celebrating the turn of the year with a picnic under palm trees and a dip in the warm Atlantic Ocean, often at exactly midnight. With this tip for a possible trip at the turn of the year, we wish you a healthy, happy and above all peaceful New Year 2025. Honorary Consul Dr. Knabe and team.
