What the numbers say

Nairobi accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on September 28, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.

That places Nairobi 1 of 3 among Africa, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.

The most recent entries are Athletics Museum, KICC Observation Plattform, August 7th Memorial Park. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.

The list, read out

Attractions account for 8 of the 24: KICC Observation Plattform, Lazarus, Good person, prearea hotel, Herbarium, KOLOBOT HEIGHTS, GP Karting and Mugumo Gardens. Museums account for 8 of the 24: Athletics Museum, Nairobi Railway Museum, The Judiciary Museum, Uhuru Park Museum, Kenya National Archives, Nairobi Gallery, Nairobi National Museum and Ojijo Rd.. Memorials account for 4 of the 24: Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Memorial, Lionel Galton Fenzi Momument (Point Zero), Freedom Corner and Amani Garden. Monuments account for 3 of the 24: Cross, Askari Monument and World War Monument. Garden accounts for 1 of the 24: August 7th Memorial Park. Alphabetically the register runs from Amani Garden to World War Monument.

That is 5 place types across 24 listings for Nairobi. Attractions are the largest group at 8, garden the smallest at 1 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is. One label appears exactly once — garden (August 7th Memorial Park).

The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 19 distinct localities, and they cluster: Kenyatta Avenue holds 3 (Nairobi Gallery and Askari Monument among them), Parliament Road holds 2 (Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Memorial and Cross) and Tom Mboya Street holds 2 (Lazarus and Kenya National Archives), while 15 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where Nairobi keeps its notable ground.
