Niche Travel in West Africa | How to visit Lome, Togo. This article is enough!

Traveling around the world to 130 countries The 13th stop on our trip to West Africa - Togo This is one of the least developed countries in the world It has a beautiful coastline One-day tour to the capital Lome The locals are very enthusiastic and have a very good impression of this place. First stop, Lome Palace I would call it the most beautiful palace on my trip to West Africa Arcades and wooden shutters, the scenery is everywhere This palace was built in 1898 At that time, the German Governor in Togo, August Kohler, wanted to build a representative palace. So the Lome Palace rose from the ground It was also the residence of the German and French governors during the colonial period. Witnessed the changes in this land under colonial rule After being severely damaged in the 1990s, it lay abandoned for two decades. Fortunately, it has been carefully planned and repaired. Nowadays, the Lome Palace has been reborn Transformed into a charming local art park Injecting new vitality and cultural atmosphere into this land There are now many exhibition halls distributed on the first and second floors. Strolling through it, you can gain an in-depth understanding of Togo’s history and culture. The terrace on the second floor has a wide view, overlooking the garden fountain and sea view. Stroll through tree-lined courtyards and enjoy a slow-paced tour of Lome When we were leaving, the staff were very helpful in helping us take a taxi. Then we went to the nearby Independence Monument, which could only be viewed from a distance. Finally, go to the central cathedral in the city The red and white church is eye-catching It is also a landmark building that cannot be missed when visiting Lome. Next door is the busiest market in Lome, where you can take a stroll
