Introducing Abidjan

The modern skyline of Le Plateau, the charming neighborhoods of Cocody, and the lively street culture of Treichville all offer visitors a window into Abidjan’s vibrant urban dynamic, as do the city’s beautiful beaches and cosmopolitan community. As one of Côte d’Ivoire’s cultural centers, Abidjan is notable for its art galleries and music scene. Music is a natural part of the city’s daily rhythms; after arriving on your Abidjan flight, you may encounter local music in restaurants, bars, at outdoor events, and even on the streets.

About 21 kilometers from the Abidjan center is the botanical garden in Bingerville, home to centuries-old trees and exotic plants.
