Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, located on the Mediterranean coast in the northwest of the country. As the political, economic and cultural center of the country, Tripoli has a long history, and its old town, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its traditional bazaars and Ottoman architecture.
Founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC, Tripoli has survived Roman, Arab and Ottoman rule, leaving a multicultural mark. Iconic sites include the Red Fortress Museum and ancient Roman ruins, reflecting its status as a trading hub.
The city's economy is dominated by port trade, the oil industry and tourism. It has faced challenges in recent years due to political unrest, but remains an important metropolis in North Africa, with a population of around 2 million and a Mediterranean climate suitable for winter travel.
