Lome, Togo

[Borna]

1.  Is it safe to walk around Lome?  I am planning on walking all day from the port where the ship docks to see the sights.

 

2.  Here's a list of places I'd like to see in Lome:

Grand Mosquee

Akodessewa fetish market

Dove monument in roundabout (Colombe de la paix)

Sacred Heart Cathedral (Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur de Lomé)

Grande Marche

Place des martyrs (Ancienne place des martyrs)

independence monument

Palais de Lome (Palace of the Governors)

Corniche

 

Is anything on the list a waste of time?  Anything else I should see in Lome?

3.  Any recommendations for a great guide in Lome?

 

Thanks in advance for your answers.

We are going to be in Lome in November....just starting my research.   Check out What's In Port Lome.  According to this site, there should be shuttle busses from port to the City Market. There's also a small map showing what's in the area.
