With pleasant weather all year round and welcoming locals, you will be tempted to explore Lomé, with its remnants of colonial architecture and palm trees lining its boulevards in the city centre. The famous markets you can enjoy in this destination include the three-level Lome Grand Marche, with fresh fruit, Togo fabrics and traditional medicine, and the more distinctive Marche Aux Fetiches, where you can purchase things to ward off evil spirits – gris-gris – including porcupine skin, warthog teeth, donkey skulls, serpent heads and horsehair.

Before travelling to Lomé, it would be wise to get vaccinations for hepatitis A, tetanus, typhoid and meningitis.
Beware of pickpockets around the Rue du Grand Marché and along Rue du Commerce. Refrain from walking on the beach alone, especially at night.
Be mindful that there is a strong undertow along the coastal waters. Consider instead swimming in a pool, such as those available to non-guests at Hôtel Mercure-Sarakawa or Hôtel Ibis-le Bénin.
A large selection of hotels are situated close to the coast of Lomé. Some include views of the Gulf of Guinea, as well as bars, pools, airport shuttles, restaurant, day spas, and tennis courts. At these hotels, you can expect to pay between 18,000 and 138,000 francs.
