Local tips for Abidjan

Tipping, safety, the scams to sidestep and when to hit the busy spots.

Loading local tips
  • Use ride-hailing apps like Yango or orange metered taxis (wôrô-wôrô) for predictable, hassle-free fares.
  • A tip of 5% to 10% is customary and appreciated in mid-range restaurants and for spa therapists.
  • Visit popular viewpoints and waterfront promenades late in the afternoon to avoid midday humidity.
  • Always carry some West African CFA Francs in small bills, as many smaller venues do not take cards.
  • Stay vigilant with your belongings in busy street areas, and avoid flashing expensive electronics.
