    Located near the Abidjan city center is the newly constructed Catholic Cathedral. The inside of the church is large with seating arranged in a 180 degree configuration that is tiered so all attendees have an unobstructed view of the alter area. The massive stained glass windows are beautiful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the city center area.

    The park itself is a wonderful escape from Abidjan proper. The trail was easy to follow and was shaded and cool the majority of the walk to the center. There is a river crossing about 2.5 km from the main entrance that has massive catfish, if you have trail mix throw some in to see the catfish go after it. No guide is necessary, the trails are well marked. On the way back to the entry point my group and I stopped and got a mini Heineken from the restaurant to relax and enjoy the quiet. Overall an easy walk to see some flora. Be cautious, the trail is an active road

    Seems like a busy business district. Lots of moving parts. Beautiful tall buildings and nice architecture.

    Wow what a beautiful spa in this 5* hotel in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. From the lovely and extremely helpful Leila at the reception to the most thorough deep tissue massage that my husband had, it was so relaxing. Refreshing juices and fruit waters, spotless pool and hammam, great views onto the gorgeous grounds. Loved it 🥰

    If you are anyway in Plateau district, it makes sense to see the mosque but I would not go there just for the mosque. It is pretty difficult to take a good photo of the building, because of other buildings around. It is quite a modern structure.

    I spent a couple of hours walking around here taking in the sights and sounds. Mostly locals were here. I came to observe, not to buy anything. I did talk, in French or English, with some people working here.

    All you need is under one roof, including snacks and food, many clothing stores and beauty parlour. Ideally situated in Central Abidjan, a must stop before returning home.

    Small museum mostly statues, pleasant overall with good air conditioning. There are some interesting proverbs on the wall in original language then translated into French.

    This is where you can leave kids for an afternoon. Many attractions including clowns and food can be purchased inside.
