Discover Guinea-Bissau
Guinea-Bissau is best approached region by region — pick a hub, then walk, ride or drive outward. Expect trade-wind islands and reef-and-ridge contrast. Bissau works as a gateway; the character often sits in the regions beyond. Broadly part of Western Africa. Languages you will meet include Portuguese, Upper Guinea Creole. Treat it as a place to overnight and explore, not only a line on a transit map.
