Culture & tradition free walking tour in Cotonou

Start your day in the heart of Cotonou with a visit to the Place de l'Étoile Rouge. This emblematic place, a symbol of Benin's independence and rich history, will immerse you in the patriotic soul of the city. From here, head for Place du Souvenir, formerly known as Place des Martyrs. As you stroll along, you'll feel the vibrant tribute paid to the heroes who shaped the country's history.
Next, take a step back in time with a visit to the Plaza Bio Guerra, a site that tells the story of the country's turbulent history and struggles for freedom. Continue your exploration along the Fishing Road, where the wild beauty of Benin's coast is revealed at every turn.
Your journey continues on to the Esplanade de l'Amazone, where you will be impressed by the imposing stature of the monument that pays tribute to the Amazons of Dahomey, the intrepid warriors who left their mark on the country's history. Not far away, the Port Heritage Wall and the co-existence mural will tell you all about Cotonou's economic and cultural history, with fascinating tales of trade and industry.
