Sights in Bissau

  1. A

    Fortaleza d'Amura

    Off the southern end of Av Amilcar Cabral are the narrow streets of the old Portuguese quarter, with colourful if often crumbling Mediterranean-style buildings. The old neighbourhood is guarded by the Fortaleza d'Amura. Surrounded by imposing stone walls, it's still used by the Guinean military and strictly off-limits to visitors.

  2. B

    Former Presidential Palace

    The former presidential palace dominates Praça dos Heróis Nacionais at the northern end of Av Amilcar Cabral. With a bombed-out roof and shrapnel in its once graceful, neoclassical façade, it's an ever-present reminder of the country's devastating civil war.
