Zinder- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Zinder, located in southern Niger, was the country's capital until 1927 and remains its second-largest city. Transportation primarily relies on cabou-cabous (motorcycle taxis), with fares ranging from 150 to 200 CFA francs. Key sites include the Sultan's Palace, a mud-brick structure, and a large market, while a small museum showcases historical artifacts. The French Cultural Center hosts events and serves food and drinks, and a nearby pool at the French private club offers respite from the heat. Wrestling matches at the stadium provide local entertainment.
