Ivory Coast is returning to its past stability though some parts of the Sahelian North can’t yet be visited. Even though the forested South and the Central rural areas with the capital, Yamoussoukro and its basilica, an astonishing replica of Rome’s St Peter’s, can be visited without any problem. The former capital, Abidjan is also an interesting city to visit; it was once called the African New York!
