Ugosample: thanks for the quick response. please if I may ask, what tourist centers can we visit in Cotonou? |
Re: Any Nairalander In Abidjan? by Ugosample(m): 2:29am On Jul 21, 2016 |
idera1: Well, you could go to the beach, basically.... You can also go to Ouidah, which is not far from the city, and you will see the slave relics, the temple of pythons, etc. As for hotel, you can use the GuestHouse at Haie Vive, next to Lambis bar, I have used them, and they are good. 15000CFa per night, And the services are awesome (Free Wi-Fi, air conditioned room, etc) what else? Okay transport, you can use the luxurious buses, but even tho that would dig a big hole in that your budget, it is more comfortable. What else? 2 Likes |
