Someday we will visit Banjul or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Banjul

Banjul is the second largest city in and capital of Gambia. The city is on an island, which has constrained its size - its population is only 40,000. Consequently much of the population now is based on the mainland between the airport and the city. The main tourist and business centres are around Bakau, Fajara, Kotu and Serrekunda.

Attractions in the city include the Gambian National Museum, the Albert Market, Banjul State House, Banjul Court House, African Heritage Museum.

In 1651 Banjul was leased by The Duke of Courland and Semigallia (German: Herzog von Kurland und Semgallen) from the King of Kombo, as part of the Couronian colonization.
