15 days in Bissau Itinerary

Looking out from the Geba River across the Atlantic Ocean, the little-known capital of Bissau offers the authentic experience of a West African fishing port.

Bissau is known for historic sites, shopping, and sightseeing. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Igreja Catolica da Bissau, take in the spiritual surroundings of Mesquita Bissau, explore and take pictures at Fortaleza de Sao Jose da Amura, and hunt for treasures at Mercado Central.

If you are flying in from Senegal, the closest major aiport is Osvaldo Vieira International Airport. In February, plan for daily highs up to 40°C, and evening lows to 22°C.
