The city is served by Ouagadougou Airport which as opposed to most other capital cities in the world is not at the edge or beyond the city’s limits it’s actually situated in the city center.

The capital features wide tree-lined boulevards and quite a few interesting sights such as the National Museum of Arts and Craft, the Nouveau Grand Marche and the Moro Naba Palace.
The Nazinga wildlife reserve is worth spending a couple of days at as you will get to see a lot of wildlife in its natural habitat and everything ranging from antelope to vultures. The reserve is situated at a five hour drive from Ouaga and as such having your own car would prove to be very useful.
The city offers many possibilities to experience its particular vibe and atmosphere first hand, such as the Moro Naaba ceremony which takes place every Friday morning at a quarter past seven in the morning. It is a fifteen minute ceremony which symbolizes a historical event.
One important place to consider visiting is the Village Artisanal of Ouagadougou which is a sort of a shopping mall for local arts and crafts. This is a place where you can shop for a wide array of local artifacts with considerably less hassle than if you were doing it on the street.
