Abidjan Travel Guide
Cote d'Ivoire
Abidjan is a city of 5,686,350 people in Côte d’Ivoire, and the country’s main urban centre. Its location on the southern coast gives it a tropical climate, with warm conditions through the year and distinct wetter and drier periods.
Most international visitors arrive through Félix Houphouët-Boigny Airport (ABJ), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Abidjan, so beach trips require looking beyond the immediate area.
