Conakry, Capital city on Atlantic coast in Guinea
The city stretches from Tombo Island to Kaloum Peninsula, containing five administrative districts and multiple coastal neighborhoods connected by bridges.
Britain transferred Tombo Island to France in 1887, leading to the establishment of Conakry as the capital of French Guinea by 1904.
Local markets across the districts present traditional textiles, fresh produce, and seafood, while multiple mosques and churches reflect religious diversity.
Visitors require yellow fever vaccination certificates and should prepare for regular electrical outages by carrying portable power banks.
The city experiences intense precipitation during July and August, receiving more rainfall than any other capital in continental Africa.
