Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Music & Arts Tour in Abidjan

Abidjan's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Abidjan is West Africa's economic powerhouse, a modern metropolis of glass towers, lagoon waterways, and pulsing Ivorian culture. Walking the Plateau business district and Treichville market reveals the dynamism of the 'Paris of West Africa.'
