Ten reasons to visit Guinea Bissau.
See all 10 images for the following:
10 Learn about Amilcar Cabral, the most important leader in Guinea Bissau’s long and difficult but ultimately successful quest for independence from Portugal, granted in 1975.
9 Go to a crafts market for unique art and souvenirs, such as the one by Empire Square in Bissau City.
8 See the Hand of Timba monument which commemorates the dockworkers who were killed during a rally for independence in 1959.
7 Discover the animist traditions including fetishes to protect people and property.
6 Stare in amazement at the giant ceiba trees. These centenarians are ubiquitous throughout the country.
5 Marvel at the Portuguese colonial buildings including this abandoned lighthouse on the Cacheu River.
4 Taste cashew nuts (and fruit), the country’s biggest cash crop.
3 Experience the colorful markets selling all types of food and household items.
2 Sail the waters in the Bijagos Archipelago of 88 islands.
1 Meet the people of Guinea Bissau. Despite its small size, the country is populated by many ethnic groups.
