Abidjan
Abidjan, set on the Ebrie Lagoon, is the largest city in Ivory Coast. Until 1983 it served as the country's capital. Today it is the main economic and cultural centre, with a population of more than 4.7 million. The city is split into two parts divided by the lagoon, with varied districts such as Cocody and Plateau. Thanks to the Vridi Canal, Abidjan is an important trading port. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from May to July, which makes December and January the best time to visit.
