Lome
Lomé, the capital of Togo, lies on the Slave Coast on the Gulf of Guinea. It is the country's main administrative and industrial centre as well as its most important port. Founded by the Ewe people in the 18th century, the city grew rapidly, especially after Togo gained independence in 1960. Today it has around 750 thousand inhabitants. In Lomé you will find the airport, the university, the National Museum and the Palace of the Republic. The climate is tropical, and the best time to visit is the dry season from November to March.
