Top 3 things to do in Guinea-Bissau
Discover the Untouched Beauty of the Bijagós Archipelago
The Bijagós Archipelago is a stunning collection of 88 islands off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, many of which remain uninhabited and teeming with wildlife. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, these islands are home to rare saltwater hippos, sea turtles, and diverse bird species. Bubaque, the most developed island, offers pristine beaches, eco-lodges, and cultural encounters with the local Bijagó people. Whether you’re kayaking through mangroves, watching turtles nest on the shores, or simply soaking up the tranquillity, the Bijagós Archipelago is one of the most untouched gems of West Africa.
Experience the Lively Markets of Bissau
Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau, is a fascinating mix of colonial history and vibrant local culture. The city’s markets, such as Bandim Market, offer a true taste of daily life, where stalls overflow with fresh seafood, colourful fabrics, and handcrafted goods. Walk through the historic streets to see remnants of Portuguese architecture, visit the Bissau Velho district, or stop by a local café to try Jollof rice and palm wine. For those interested in history, the Amílcar Cabral Mausoleum honours the revolutionary leader who played a key role in Guinea-Bissau’s independence.

Visitors can take guided nature walks to explore lush jungle landscapes, meet the local Balanta people, and learn about traditional farming methods. If you love adventure and eco-tourism, Cantanhez Forest is a must-visit.
