Travel Guide Ouagadougou

Ouagadougou is not particularly beautiful, it is noisy and polluted and, apart from its international festivals, it does not present any points of interest. Many tour tours spend only one day, or even half a day, the time to buy some souvenirs before resuming the plane.However, for the traveller who wants to meet with Burkina Faso in all its facets, Ouagadougou, the country's nerve centre, is imperative. If it does not have major tourist attractions, it is pleasant to live and lively in the evening. Its very central position undoubtedly explains that it has become the seat of many regional organizations and knows the va of consultants, experts, businessmen and other delegates. For a long time the country's second economic city behind Bobo-Dioulasso, the capital took over the torch; it is now the most populous city.For the independent traveller, it is also a very good basis for preparing her trip. Located in the centre of the road network, very well served by public transport, there are almost all or most of them. Finally at international cultural events, such as the SIAO (arts and Crafts) or the Zimba (7 th art), it would be a shame not to devote the time necessary to the capital to enjoy its effervescence.
