Grand-Bassam, Côte d'Ivoire
Once the colonial capital of Côte d'Ivoire, Grand-Bassam pairs haunting UNESCO ruins with breezy Atlantic beaches and vibrant seaside maquis dining.
The optimal window to visit Grand-Bassam is during the dry season from November to March, when sunny days and manageable humidity make walking the historical district comfortable. Avoid the peak rainy season from May to July, when torrential tropical downpours frequently flood dirt roads and make lagoon boat tours hazardous.Explore →
