Côte d’Ivoire is open to leisure travelers, and tourism is active, especially around Abidjan, Grand-Bassam, Assinie, and Yamoussoukro. But current official advice from several governments warns about crime, terrorism, unrest, and specific high-risk border areas, so this is a trip that requires careful planning rather than a casual visit.
