Introduction
Pack your bags as we take you on an unforgettable 3-day trip around Abidjan, the lively and friendly capital of Côte d'Ivoire. From architecture to food, nature to nightlife, every moment will be filled with original Ivorian charm.
Day 1 - Welcome to Abidjan
Touchdown Abidjan, and we're good to go. Freshen up at your hotel before we hit the lovely Treichville Market. It's a melting pot of colors, sounds, and smells. Here you'll find everything, quite literally from A-Z; authentic Ivorian cloth, fruit, spices, and more. Next, we're off to the St. Paul's Cathedral. An architectural marvel you'll want to capture. Turn in early to recoup energy for the next day or if you're up for it, explore the vibrant nightlife of Abidjan.
Day 2 - Embrace the Culture
Morning, we'll start today's adventure at The Banco National Park. Home to over 500 flora and a variety of fauna, this lush green space is a refreshing start to your day. You wouldn't want to miss the photogenic foot bridge! After this, catch a bite of the local delicacy at one of the surrounding eateries - ever tried Alloco? Because you're about to! Post lunch, we’re heading to the Museum of Civilizations. With its folklore, art, and historical artifacts, you'll get a deep dive into the Ivorian culture. Lastly, don the Ivorian cloth you picked yesterday for a night filled with rhythmic African music at a nearby club.
Day 3 - Farewell, Abidjan
Let's fill your last day in Abidjan with as much as we can. We start with a boat ride to the Vridi Canal - did you know it’s the main boat passage to Abidjan port? After this, get some exquisite chocolates for your loved ones (and yourself, of course!) at the TAJIRIS Artisan Chocolate Factory. As the sun sets, we take a walk down the La Corniche to soak in the stunning engulfs of the city. Lastly, say goodbye to the city with a fancy dinner at an up-market restaurant. As you leave, you'll know you've truly seen the spirit of Abidjan!
