Abidjan

Overview

Abidjan is the very European capital of Ivory Coast. As the expats says: It is such a nice place because it's so conveniently close to Africa. This remark is very true for the wealthy parts of town: Le Plateau, Cocody and les Duex Plateaux, here you will almost feel in Europe. Most pf the 2.5 million inhabitants live in other quarters howvere such as Treichville, Morcory or Adjame. These are very lively places, very busy and very much African. These two faces make Abidjan a very intersting detsination.

Abidjan is large, clean and fairly modern. The town offers a wide variety of things to do. There are a few sights worth checking out, the most important one being the Hotel Ivoire. The area is good for daytrips.
