Introducing Douala

Show mapClose map

Yaoundé might be Cameroon’s capital, but Douala is the economic powerhouse. With little in the way of tourist attractions, it’s a swelteringly hot mess of dusty honking traffic jams. Hard to love initially, give it some time and you may begin to appreciate this port city’s good restaurants, lively nightlife and decaying tropical ambience. As the Cameroon­ians say, ‘Yaoundé sleeps, Douala moves’.
