Bamako, the capital of Mali, is devoid of high-rises and hip-hop shopping plazas. Traditional it is, and famed for its ethnic, lively people and markets - the main attractions of Bamako tourism. Certain sections of the city have broad boulevards but narrow alleyways are common. There are many popular nightclubs in Bamako featuring recorded music and, rarely, live-bands. Some stay open late for drinks and dancing.

Planning your Bamako vacations, bear in mind that it is a very pleasant city, with good markets, friendly people and a laid back atmosphere. Bamako hotels list includes both top-rank hotel chains and small family hotels and cheap ones for undemanding travelers. Probably the most important tourist sight is the National Museum, which is some way to the north of the centre. Make sure to include in your Bamako vacations plans a visit to the plateau above Bamako. At some view points it affords a superb panoramic view of the city and the River Niger with quaint pirogues afloat.
