Lome Walking Tour

Lome, Togo

Why Walk Lome

Lome stretches along the Gulf of Guinea coast in West Africa, a capital city with a relaxed atmosphere compared to larger regional hubs. The Grand Marche is one of the great markets of West Africa, run predominantly by the Nana Benz — powerful market women who built fortunes trading wax-print cloth. The city's colonial-era German and French architecture lines the boulevards near the waterfront, and the fishing beach at the eastern end of town comes alive at dawn.
