Kara
This walkable city in northern Togo with a centre full of cafés and restaurants, Kara sits at the crossroads of two major trade routes — one running north to Ouagadougou and south to Lomé, the other linking Bassar westward to Djougou and Parakou in Benin. The regional capital of the Kara region, it lies within reach of mountains and water, and holds enough independent traveller interest to have earned its own Wikivoyage entry.
