Emergency Contacts
AileuNational emergency numbers in Timor-Leste are unreliable; in Aileu, call the district police station directly. For medical help, contact the Aileu Municipal Hospital (+670 333 1122) or the local health post. Keep a local SIM card; phone coverage is spotty. In serious trouble, ask any hotel or government office to call. Dial 112 from a Timor Telecom landline if available.
💡 Save these numbers in your phone. In life-threatening emergencies, call immediately.
Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Aileu, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.

Top Attractions in Aileu
💡 Go before 8am for the best selection of fresh fruit and to watch the coffee roast over charcoal at the edge of the market.
💡 The market sells grilled corn and coffee; buy some and sit on the benches under the big banyan tree in the centre.
💡 Ask the caretaker to unlock the back room — it has a fine collection of tais (handwoven cloth) that isn't on display in the main hall.
💡 Bring water and wear sturdy shoes — the short climb from the town square is steep and the path is loose gravel.
💡 Come just before sunset — the light on the hills is spectacular, and the local kids often play football on the dirt patch below.
