Bon à savoir sur Bissau

• L'aéroport est dans le quartier de Bissalanca, dans le secteur de Safim, qui se prolonge sans rupture jusqu'à Bissau, donc le transfert est court même si l'adresse n'est pas celle de la capitale.
• Une piste, 3,200 m d'asphalte, et une courte liste de compagnies : Air Côte d'Ivoire, Air Sénégal, ASKY Airlines, euroAtlantic Airways, Royal Air Maroc, TAP Air Portugal et Turkish Airlines, vers Lisbonne, Dakar, Abidjan, Istanbul et Casablanca.
• Le Foreign Office britannique juge la conduite et l'état des routes mauvais, y compris dans Bissau, et déconseille de circuler la nuit, ce qui est bon à savoir avant de réserver une arrivée tardive.
• The airport sits roughly 9 to 11 km north of central Bissau and is the country's only international airport, with air navigation handled by ASECNA.
• Guinea-Bissau does not strictly enforce SIM registration, although a vendor may still ask for ID at their discretion, so carry your passport when buying a card in Bissau.
• Domestic roaming is not yet working despite a 2023 regulation, so a local SIM stays on its own network and cannot borrow the other operator's masts where its own signal fails.
• Calls over 4G, VoLTE, are not yet offered by either mobile network, and mobile data can be unstable in some areas even though outages are rare.
• Guinea-Bissau runs on cash. Card payments are rare and ATMs are few, so change money at an official bureau de change and carry enough for taxis and meals.
• Bag and phone snatching is relatively common in Bissau, so keep your phone out of sight when walking and use it indoors where possible.
• Police in Bissau regularly ask for identification, and you must carry a passport or residence permit, particularly when driving or riding in a taxi.
• The national demining centre, CAAMI, has declared Bissau free of landmines. Outside the capital, some areas still carry a risk, so stay on paved roads and take local advice.
• The rainy season runs from June to October, and heavy rain makes road and driving conditions difficult, inside the city as well as beyond it.
• Only 770 km of the country's 2,746 km road network is asphalt, and outside the priority corridors many rural roads become impassable in the rains.
• Tollgates operate at the Sao Vicente and Joao Landim bridges and at Jugudul, a corridor near Bissau, and the tolls help fund road maintenance.
• The road to Senegal crosses at Sao Domingos and Mpak, about 128 km from Bissau airport or roughly 2.5 hours by car. There are no fuel stations between Sao Domingos and Bissau, so fill up first.
• Entry requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate, and your passport must stay valid for at least six months after the day you arrive.
