Lomé
Togo's capital on the Gulf of Guinea coast, Lomé is a large city with a walkable centre dense with cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. Founded by the Ewe people in the late 19th century for trade, it blends animist tradition — including a well-known fetish market — with Christianity, Islam, and a modern skyline of hotels and banking institutions, all within reach of the waterfront.
