Porto-Novo and the East

Region

Benin's official capital and the eastern borderlands lean strongly Yoruba, with lively markets and a slower pace than Cotonou. Porto-Novo's museums and colonial-era streets pair well with short detours to craft towns and the Nigeria road via Plateau. Carry cash for smaller stops, and plan around market mornings for the best atmosphere.
