🇨🇮 Côte d'Ivoire Independent Travel Guide

🛂 Visa Options 1️⃣ Guinea Embassy Sticker Visa: $120 (3-day processing) + $20 transit permit. 2️⃣ China Sticker Visa: Mailed to Beijing (1-week processing). Pro tip: My visa looked so fake, I got questioned at Shenzhen airport! 🧐 3️⃣ E-Visa: €73 online, but requires physical sticker visa on arrival (reportedly gorgeous—photos coming!). 📶 Internet SIM cards at airport: Orange/MTN/Moov (~8,500 XOF for 2GB). I used roaming—your call! 🚖 Transport 1️⃣ Yango App: Super user-friendly! Airport → City: 5,000 XOF. 2️⃣ Orange Taxis: No meters—match Yango’s price (or pay ~8,000 XOF). 🌍 Top Attractions 📍 Grand Bassam (See my last post!) 📍 Plateau Mosque 👳♀️ (Bring a scarf—quick photo stop.) 📍 CAVA Handicraft Market: Masks, carvings—haggle below half-price! 📍 St. Paul’s Cathedral: 1,000 XOF entry, stunning walls. 📍 Plateau District: Graffiti = meh, but our airbnb view was epic! 📍 Abandoned "Pyramid": A grassy, dystopian skyscraper—why?! 📍 Noom Hotel: Poolside shots need photo permits (even for guests!). 📍 Basilica of Our Lady of Peace (Yamoussoukro): World’s largest church! (Worth the detour if time allows.) 😌 Final Thoughts After Cape Verde, I "lazily explored" Côte d’Ivoire for 4 days—chill vibes! Now halfway through my West Africa trip, I’m low-key dreading solo travel from Nigeria onward… it’s lonely out here! 😂🌍 #OffTheBeatenPath #WestAfrica #TravelHacks #SoloTravelStruggles
