Lisbon, Portugal to Abidjan, Ivory Coast from €381

🌍 About abidjan

Abidjan is West Africa's business capital, and it shows: Le Plateau is a cluster of real glass towers, rare on this coast, while leafy Cocody holds the embassies and the university. The one building to seek out is St. Paul's Cathedral — its roof hangs on steel cables from a giant leaning concrete pylon shaped like a figure dragging the faithful forward, finished in 1985 and unlike any church you've seen. Eat garba: attiéké (fermented cassava couscous, couscous-like but tangy) with chunks of fried tuna, the cheap street meal locals actually live on, a few hundred CFA at a roadside stand. Go December–February — the long dry season, cooler and less sticky than the 80%-humidity norm. Skip May and June, when the heaviest rains flood the streets.
