Places to Visit in TOGO 🇹🇬
Lomé is more than a base for travelling elsewhere in Togo. The city has its own character, especially around the markets, fishing harbour, beaches and older neighbourhoods.
Visit the Grand Marché, the National Museum, the Akodessewa traditional market, the artisanal areas and the beachfront.
The fishing harbour is particularly interesting if you want to see everyday coastal life rather than a polished tourist attraction.
Togoville sits on the northern shore of Lake Togo and has an important place in the country’s history.
The town is connected to the name “Togo” itself. In 1884, King Mlapa III signed a treaty with German explorer Gustav Nachtigal here.
Today, visitors can see the Musée du Chef Plakoo-Mlapa, an old church built during the German period, the Monument of German-Togolese Centenary and traditional religious sites.
You can also reach Togoville by crossing the lake by pirogue.
Near Dapaong, the Nok area offers something very different from the beaches and waterfalls associated with southern Togo.
The landscape contains caves and traditional grain storage structures built from earth.
It is worth researching locally before going because access, guides and current conditions can matter more here than they would at a major city attraction.
This is one of those places where having someone who knows the area can make the visit considerably more meaningful.
Further north, Dapaong offers a very different landscape and cultural experience from southern Togo.
Look for the regional museum, traditional markets and the area’s distinctive cylindrical earthen granaries.
The region also provides access to archaeological and cultural sites, including the Nok caves and granaries.
This is the kind of stop that makes sense if you are travelling through northern Togo rather than simply flying into Lomé for a short holiday.
This is for travellers looking beyond towns and cultural sites.
Fazao-Malfakassa stretches across the Central and Kara regions and covers nearly 2,000 km².
The landscape includes forest, wooded savannah, rocky areas and rivers.
The park is home to wildlife including elephants, buffalo, antelopes and warthog
