Cotonou, the economic capital and largest city of the Republic of Benin, is located at the southern tip of the country, bordering the Gulf of Guinea, and is one of the most important port cities in West Africa. As the capital of the Littoral Province, Cotonou is not only the political and economic center of Benin, but also a key trade hub in West Africa, with its port handles bulk cargo and import/export trade, supporting the lifeblood of the country's economy. With a population of around one million, the city is a blend of tradition and modernity, with the busy Dantokpa Market, one of the largest in West Africa, offering a rich mix of handicrafts, agricultural products and daily necessities with a strong local flavor. In addition, with beautiful beaches such as Fida Beach, historic colonial buildings, and a vibrant arts and culture scene, Sinnende is a great gateway to explore Benin and West Africa.
