Cotonou was the first destination of my West Africa trip and so I was so excited and energized to visit! People sometimes say that Cotonu is boring, but I disagree! I decided to list some of my favorite things to do in Cotonou so that you can maximize your time in this vibrant city. If you are interested in planning a larger trip around Benin, be s...
This place is HUGE and definitely tops my list of things to do in Cotonou. There are so many colors and smells and things to see among the planned chaos. Go to the spice section, or get lost among woven baskets. Chat with the women selling anything, or goof off with the men in the electronics section. You cannot visit Cotonou, or even Benin without...
There are a lot of Catholics in Benin, and they have a really unique Cathedral in the center of Cotonou. It is unique enough to be included in my list of things to do in Cotonou! The pope even visited this cathedral! I think it looks like a candy cane…
This is a market geared towards tourists and is the place to go to buy souvenirs and gifts for family and friends. Although the big Dantokpa Market is the more exciting place to visit, you will have a hard time finding souvenirs there. The people at the Artisanal Center are outgoing and friendly, but be prepared to bargain! But you’ll have to forgi...
You pretty much can’t avoid this giant monument in the center of Cotonou. You may need to go to it to find a bush taxi to take you to other parts of the country! Although this big red star won’t take a long time to see, I think it is worth including in this list of things to do in Cotonou because of the history it represents. It was a gift to Benin...
This is an awesome artistic space where you can enjoy amazing art from local and regional artists. There is also a branch of the foundation in neighboring Ouidah as well. See extremely high quality contemporary art from African artists of the past and present. It is one of the best cultural things to do in Cotonou!
This calm neighborhood is full of coconut tree lined streets and hip little cafés. It also isn’t so far from the beach! I loved just wandering the streets and enjoying the different types of architecture and colors and murals. There are also some nice places to stay there! I will link where I stayed below!
Soaking up the sun at a local beach is one of the best things to do in Cotonou, hands down! Fidjirosse Beach is a local favorite, or for something more upscale (with a pool, restaurant, hotel, etc.) check out Hotel El Dorado Beach Club. Just note that the ocean is really rough in the region. It is a great place to soak up some sun on the beach, but...
Ok this isn’t technically in Cotonou, but it is just around 30 minutes away and I thought it would be worth adding to my list of things to do in Cotonou. Ganvie was one of my favorite places I visited in Benin, and you really feel like you are in another world of floating markets and buildings. It was just so beautiful. Just don’t forget to be resp...
Benin has some amazing, friendly people! I loved getting to know them over meals or in busy bush taxis. Sure you can see everything in the world but its the people that really make a place special! If you’re looking for a place to stay in Cotonou, I stayed at Guesthouse Cocotiersand I loved it!
