Worth knowing about Pobé
- Pobè has no airport of its own. Benin's air traffic comes through Cotonou, where the airport sits inside the city in the Cadjehoun neighbourhood and works off one 2,400 m runway.
- Most visitors need a Benin e-Visa granted before arrival, with African Union citizens exempt for 90 days. Processing can take up to 96 hours, so apply about a week before you travel.
