Asmara

An Art Deco capital frozen in the 1930s down to the petrol stations, a highland climate that stays gentle while the coast bakes, and a calm that comes from being one of the least-visited capitals on earth.
The best time to visit Asmara is Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 25°C (78°F).
