Good to know before you go
The currency is the West African CFA franc and French is the official language. There is no metro yet, so getting around means ride apps like Yango and Uber, registered taxis, or the lagoon boat-buses (bateaux-bus), which are a scenic and cheap way to cross the water; traffic in the Plateau can be heavy at rush hour. Agree on fares in advance for street taxis and stay alert in crowded areas at night.
