Lome is known as one of the most beautiful palaces in the West

1. One-day tour in Lomé: Palais de Lomé The Palais de Lomé really amazed me! I would like to call it the most beautiful palace I have seen along the way in West Africa… 2. The arcades and wooden shutters are particularly impressive. The palace was built in 1898 when August Kohler, the German governor-general in Togo, wanted to build a representative palace. 3. This palace was also the palace of the German and French governors during the colonial period. It was severely damaged in the 1990s and abandoned for twenty years. Now it has been renovated and turned into a local art park. The ticket price is 7,000 on weekdays and 5,000 on weekends. There are many exhibition halls on the first and second floors where you can learn about the history and culture of Togo. From the second floor, you can overlook the garden fountain and the sea view. Stroll through the tree-lined courtyard and enjoy the slow pace of Lome. Monument de l'indépendance is not far from the Lome Palace. The entire square is not open to the public and cannot be photographed. You can only look at it from a distance. 4. Sacred Heart Cathedral The cathedral in the city has a unique architecture. Next to it is Lomé Grand Market, the busiest market in Lomé. You can also visit it. 5. Akodessewa Fetish Market The voodoo market in Lome has a strong smell and contains many animal bodies. Tickets are 13,000 yuan and photos are 2,000 yuan. If you mind these, consider carefully... Overall, it feels good.
