Douala, Cameroon’s economic center, offers a mix of experiences, but it has its challenges. Visitors often notice the busy atmosphere of the city, with its markets and street life full of activity. You will find attractions like the arts scene, but remember that getting around Douala can be difficult due to language barriers—French is the main language spoken. The cost of living can be high in some places, especially in hotels like Ibis, which many travelers find clean and nice. However, it's important to stay aware; some reviews suggest being careful with your belongings and not letting others handle your bags, especially at the airport. Safety can be an issue, so it’s best to stay in crowded areas, even during the day. While public transportation may be limited, there are some options, but traveling around might take some time. Learn about the local customs and interact with the friendly Cameroonians, but be ready for some cultural surprises. Douala is a complex city with its own... appeal, so just be smart about your travel and enjoy the experiences—both good and challenging!
