Côte d'Ivoire's economic capital — skyscrapers, lagoon bridges, and West Africa's most modern skyline.
Abidjan is West Africa's most modern metropolis — not the official capital of Côte d'Ivoire but its economic powerhouse and one of Africa's most significant business hubs. St Paul's Cathedral is one of Africa's most architecturally daring structures, and the Banco National Park is the only national park in the world inside a city.
