Yamoussoukro is major. You could spend a while here and barely scratch the surface. If you’d like to take in as much as possible in this dynamic metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that city driving often comes with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. Don’t stress though, because a compact or an economy car will make this much less daunting. If you’re aiming to get out of the city and check out the sandy shores that Yamoussoukro is well known for, you’ll probably prefer something with more room. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that longer drive comfortable.
