Make sure to see the Fetish market; one of West Africa's wonders... the entire biology of the region displayed before you... in pieces.

Cotonou is the capital of Benin and it is considered a good place to see various Voodoo related attractions since Benin is a center of the Voodoo religion.

Visit the "City of the Kings" in Abomey. It's very interesting. See how leaders in Africa build huge kingdom across several ethnical groups over more than 7 actual countries. Centuaries of History

Go and see Ganvie (a little town on the water in the Bay between Cotonou and Porto Novo) and to the market "Tantokpa" in Cotonou!
