I lived in Cotonou for 2 years and enjoyed it very much. Great beaches (if you like strong waves), a very interesting country and very friendly people! Although there are no so called "top sights" this peaceful country gives you an idea of how great Africa can be. If you want to "see" Benin here are the "must see" places:
- Cotonou
- Porto Novo
- Oudiah (Porte de non-retour)
- Grand Popo (to relax)
- Abomey
- Natitingou and the Penjari National Park
It is amazing and scary to see how the Beninois cut the shells of those coconuts!
- In a nutshell:Maybe not spectacular but very "sympa"!
