It's good to stare reality in the face.
In a nutshell
Not brassy at all!
I hired a car with a driver and was driven around the city. This city is quite full of greenery with forest parks everywhere. Nice to see that Brazzaville cares about trees. You can even stop by in one of the park and take a walk. However it's advised that you walk with someone with you.

Near the port along the Congo river where one can hire boats to sail around the irver, Mami Wata offers a good view of Kinshasa across the mighty river. It has buffet food and patronised by a lot of expats

Brazzaville has an international airport, as you may imagine. But, it can also be reached by boat along the Zaire river (from Kisangani - Congo People Republic) or the Oubangui river (from Bangui - Centrafrica Republic). And a railway exists from Pointe Noire, the commercial harbour on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean: the railway, which crosses a wild mountain range, is said to be cost one white-man per kilometre and one-black per metre due to the very difficult environmental conditions.

Located south of the city, there is an impressive rapids along the wide Congo River. One can see women doing the laundry on the river and the city of Kinshasa across it. There is a restaurant that overlooks the rapids and it is a relaxing place to have a few beers and contemplate as the torrential river unleashes a mighty roar.
