Where to stay in Togo: most popular cities

Most travel centres on the capital by the ocean, but there are inland cities too. These are the destinations travellers choose most often:

• Lomé. The capital on the Atlantic and the widest choice of hotels, from guesthouses to 5-star. The Grand Marché, beaches and nightlife.
• Kpalimé. A town among green hills in the west, a base for hikes, waterfalls and Mount Agou.
• Aného. A former capital by a lagoon near the Benin border, with quiet beaches and colonial buildings.
• Kara. The main city of the north, a gateway towards the Koutammakou villages and the parks.
• Sokodé. The second largest city, in the centre, a stop on the route north.

Nightly rates vary between cities. Here are indicative prices per night for a double room:

What to see in Togo

Togo combines coast, hills and traditional culture, so it is easy to match a trip to your interests.

• Lomé. The colourful capital with the Grand Marché, the cathedral and the West African Art Museum.
• Koutammakou. The mud tower dwellings of the Batammariba people, a UNESCO site and one of the symbols of the country.
• Coco Beach. A popular palm-lined beach near Lomé, good for a day by the water.
• Kpalimé and Mount Agou. Lush greenery, waterfalls and a climb to the highest peak in the country with views of Ghana.
• The national parks. Elephants in Fazao-Malfakassa Park and ostriches and antelopes in the Sarakawa reserve.

How much does a trip to Togo cost

Beyond the room, daily costs are low. A cheap meal is about 2 500 CFA, a mid-range meal about 4 000 CFA. A short motorbike-taxi ride costs from a few hundred francs. The currency is the CFA franc. Cards are not accepted everywhere, so it is worth carrying cash, especially outside Lomé. ATMs are found mainly in the capital.

When is the best time to visit Togo

The best time is the dry season from November to February, with pleasant weather and mild temperatures. Trips inland and to the north are easier then. The rainy season makes travel harder on poorer roads. Room prices are lowest in January and highest in August. The dry months are good for beach time in Lomé.

Getting to and around Togo

The only international airport is by Lomé, serving cities across Africa as well as Paris, Brussels and Lisbon, and the local airline ASKY has its hub here. By car and shared taxis you arrive from Accra in Ghana and from Benin, and there are buses too. Around the country you usually travel by motorbike taxi in the cities and by bus and shared taxis on longer routes. Cars can be hired in the capital. Distances are short along the main north-south axis.
