Learn the local habits

There are no big stores nor luxury brands. The ideal is to explore the several markets such as Bandim, on the city centre, with a great variety of local products are available. The fabrics are famous. Once you're in town, don't forget to taste the typical dishes like Caldo de Mancara, pork meat with corn and beans, or the rice fish.

Go and explore

Fauna and flora are exuberant, especially on the Natural Reserve of Tarrafes, close to Bissau, where the mangrove forest rules. Also outside the urban perimeter, there are unexplored beaches with white sand and transparent water. And just two hours away from Bissau, the lovely Bigajós islands.

Tips for Travelling Bissau

The city is warm year round, with rainy and dry seasons. Walking is best within the old town. To explore beyond the old town, use the local toca-toca minibuses and regular taxis. Portuguese is the official language, but most of the locals speak Upper Guinea Creole, French, or other native languages. Uncover this unique culture when you fly to Bissau with TAP Air Portugal.
