Bula, Guinea-Bissau: the capital of West Africa on the Atlantic coast
Bula, Guinea-Bissau is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, located in the tropical region of West Africa on the Atlantic coast. As the political, economic and cultural center of the country, the city is home to government institutions, major markets and an important port.
Historical background and characteristics of the city
Guinea-Bissau Bra was the center of Portuguese rule during the colonial period, and has retained much of its colonial architecture since independence, mixing African and European cultural styles. The city is characterized by its tropical flora and fauna, mangrove-lined estuary, and a slow pace of life with a traditional West African flavor.
Economic and Transportation Hub

Transportation in the city is mainly by motorcycle and cab, connecting it to the rest of the country and neighboring countries such as Senegal.
