Abidjan overview
As an economic centre of the Ivory Coast, Abidjan is a busy, dynamic city, where skyscrapers are the norm. It doesn’t lack for tourist fun and adventure, though. Its Yopougon district offers a dynamic and social nightlife zone for travellers, while Treichville shows a more ethnic and traditional side of the city. Local water taxis are public transportation for locals in the city and form part of its charm. For a taste of history and culture visit St. Paul cathedral and the Grand mosque. Princess Street in the Yopougon district is the place to be after dark. Maquis are the best places to eat in the city. Serving a selection of local cuisine, Maquis offer lunch and dinner at very affordable prices. Lebanese eateries also serve quick and easy meals.
Tai National Park is an important sanctuary for several endangered mammal species. It also protects one of the few remaining rainforest habitats in West Africa. In 1982 the park was declared a World Heritage Site. Five of its mammal species are critically endangered.
Golf enthusiasts who take a flight to Abidjan can enjoy the facilities on offer and along the Ivory Coast. Bassam is the area’s number one beach and a great way to spend a day with the whole family. Sometimes referred to as the Paris of West Africa, the city offers some gorgeous natural scenery along its lagoons and coastline.
