Benin is packed with tourist attractions, including the historic town of Abomey, Pendjari National Park, Lake Nokoué and its lakeside villages, the Fishing Road, the Porto-Novo Ethnographic Museum and much more. Each region of Benin offers unique sites to discover.
To enter Benin, foreign nationals need a valid passport and a visa. Some countries waive visa requirements for short stays. We recommend that you contact the Beninese embassy or consulate in your home country to find out about specific formalities.
Benin can be visited all year round, but the period from November to February is considered the best because of the cooler, drier climate. During this period, you can fully enjoy outdoor activities without being bothered by heat and rain.
Benin is a multilingual country. The official languages are French and Fon. However, many other languages are also spoken, such as Yoruba, Mina, Bariba, Dendi and many others. Linguistic diversity is one of the country's cultural assets.
In Benin, there are several transport options available for getting around. You can opt for cabs, buses, mototaxis (zémidjans), or rent a car. It is advisable to take the necessary precautions and find out about fares before using these services.
