Although Douala is certainly not the most welcoming of cities, its excellent location along the coast and the large number of sights make it popular among tourists.
Douala, which is the second biggest city in Cameroon, has something to offer to both sun worshippers and those interested in culture. For example, you can look at magnificent African art in the Museum of Douala or enjoy sun and sand in Limbe. To get a taste of the local atmosphere, you should take a walk round Cameroon Artisan Market. You will also be able to buy charming souvenirs and local trinkets.
If you stay in Douala, you should certainly take a trip to Mount Cameroon. You reach the top of the mountain along a footpath that is about 25 km long, through tropical jungle. It is a challenge, but your effort will be rewarded with a magnificent view.
