Why book domestic flights within Benin?

Things to do:
Benin is best known as the birthplace of the Vodun religion, otherwise known as Voodoo. Vodun is the official religion of the country and plays an important role in the lives of Beninese locals. While in Benin, you'll likely come across voodoo temples and skull/skin-filled fetish markets, many of which can be found in Grande Marche du Dantopka which is Cotonou's grand market.
If you're a history buff, you might be interested in learning about the history of slave trading in Benin. Visit Ouidah's local history museum to find out all about the slave trade in Benin during the rule of the Dahomey Kingdom that existed from 1600 to 1904.
One of the top attractions in the country is the ruined temples and royal palaces in Abomey that belonged to the Dahomey Kingdom - this city is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Other things to do include whale watching, checking out sea turtles, shopping for artisanal goods and handicrafts as well as making your own pottery.
Best time to visit:
