Cotonou has an abundance of things to see. You’ll obviously want to tick off all the major attractions, but you also won’t want to miss the nearby sandy shores that Benin is known for. We recommend opting for something that will take you from urban jaunts to longer road trips, like a standard car. Collect your ride from Cotonou Airport (COO-Cadjehoun), travel the 7 miles to the city center, and explore to your heart’s content. When you’re done, head out of the center and experience Mother Nature. Just remember to send us some postcards on the way.
