Blantyre may not be the official capital of Malawi, but it is considered to be the capital of commerce and industry. Located in the Shire Highlands, it is a compact city with hilly vistas, some interesting sights and good restaurants. It was founded by Scottish missionaries and named after the town where David Livingstone was born.
