LFW to the centre: one pre-booked hotel pickup or an agreed-fare taxi, 15–35 minutes; the risk is a night arrival with no ride arranged, not the distance.

Rules in force · 5Uneven pavements and traffic
  • Togo ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Togolese government sources before booking.
  • Togo ↗Governments advise against travel to parts of the far north (Savanes region) near the Burkina Faso border; check your own government's advice.
  • Lomé and the Coast ↗Avoid driving outside the city after dark: roads are poorly lit and vehicles are unlit.
  • Lomé ↗Uneven pavements and traffic: bags go from the car to the hotel door, never on a walk.
  • Lomé ↗After dark, take a car or a hotel-booked taxi door to door; do not walk between areas.

If it breaks

  • Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a pickup; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
  • Agree the fare before you get in and confirm it covers all your bags.
  • If no ride is available, sleep near the airport: do not take a motorbike taxi with luggage at night.
