About Abidjan
Abidjan is known for lagoon views, lively markets, Ivorian food and late-night music. Ivory Coast’s tropical cultural center sits on the Ébrié Lagoon.
Le Plateau brings St Paul’s Cathedral, La Pyramide and the Musée des Civilisations de Côte d’Ivoire, while Banco National Park adds forest trails and Grand Bassam offers colonial-era architecture by the coast.
Three to seven days gives time for these sights, a lagoon boat tour and plates of attiéké or alloco. Cocody provides a leafy place to stay, while markets, music and restaurants keep Abidjan’s nights energetic.
