Things to do in Abidjan
While many spend their weekends heading to the beach, or hitting up an Air-Conditioned Mall for some food and shopping, there are a variety of other options in Abidjan!
A lovely protected green space in Bingerville just a short drive from ICSA. This is a great place to bring a frisbee, have a picnic, or go for a stroll without the noises and complications of city traffic. There is an entrance fee.
A short drive from the city, and a small entrance fee will allow you access to an expansive and lush tropical forest. A large dirt road is easily walkable with a stroller, bikes (rental available) or by foot, and will eventually lead you through a small village where an outdoor cafe and basic ropes course is available.
Dahlia Flour Park is another outdoor option for a walk, picnic or bike without the crowds and traffic of the city.
