The Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (ABJ) in Abidjan is the main international airport serving the economic capital of Ivory Coast. Port Bouet Airport, as it is also known, handles 2 million passengers every year. Aside from being connected by the Abidjan Metro, which is a project expected to be completed in December 2023, the airport is linked with highways that lead into the heart of the city. The downtown area is about a 40-minute drive from Port Bouet Airport.

Best Season to Travel to Ivory Coast

The best season to travel to Ivory Coast is from December to February. The country is in the tropics, right on the Gulf of Guinea. Both of these factors contribute to defining the climate of Ivory Coast. Humidity is the lowest during the winter months, making it more comfortable for people to breathe in a fresher atmosphere. There is only a 5 to 10 percent chance of rain during these times as well. The mean temperature during these three months is around 26°C, which makes this time of year ideal for a visit to Ivory Coast.
