Top Attractions in Conakry
💡 Go early (7-9am) for the best food stalls and less chaos. Keep your wallet in a zipped front pocket. Haggling is expected, but be friendly. Don't photograph people without asking.
💡 Bring a book or snacks; there's a quiet corner by the fountain. Watch your belongings—petty theft happens. Best at sunset when the light softens.

💡 Visit outside Friday midday prayer to avoid crowds. Dress modestly (long trousers/skirt and covered shoulders). Women should bring a scarf.
💡 Bring your own water, as there are no vendors inside. Watch out for ant nests near benches. The best spot is the small pond with lily pads.
