Benin-Lonely Planet - Benin has the hottest attractions in all of West Africa - the stilted fishing villages in the lagoon near Porto Novo. The towns however - and even Cotonou, the biggest - may seem unremarkable to the short-term visitor. It's the kind of place that hides its best features. You need to be patient and observant to glimpse many of the cultural highlights of Benin. Food lovers needn't worry, though. Beninese food is possibly the best in the region, and is widely available.
Destination Benin - While Benin shares many of the problems of its neighbours such as bad roads and infrastructure, poor water and health conditions and institutionalised corruption, it is comparatively violence-free, is richer and economically stronger than most of its neighbours, and has the best beaches and landscapes.
