About Nairobi CBD
Nairobi CBD is a tight grid between Uhuru Highway and Tom Mboya Street, inside a working city of offices, matatu stages and colonial-era arcades. It is the one part of Nairobi where you can walk everywhere you need in daylight. Kenyatta Avenue is the spine, Kimathi and Standard Streets hold the pleasant colonial-era arcades, and Moi Avenue is the loud, hawking, bus-stage version of the same city. You can reach the Kenya National Archives, City Market and the Nairobi Gallery within fifteen minutes of each other. The CBD suits people who like cities that work and who want museums, markets and government-district architecture rather than lawns. Office towers go dark and shutters come down in the evening, so the western half of the grid, including Muindi Mbingu, Wabera, Kaunda and Loita Streets and Parliament Road, is the better-lit area to stay in.
