Guinea-Bissau Travel Tips
Must-see hotspots
Bijagós Archipelago (island hopping and wildlife), Bissau-Guinean Historic Quarter, Orango National Park, Cacheu River forts, and local markets.
Data planning
Plan for 1–3 GB/day if you rely on maps and messaging; 3–5 GB/day if you stream or work remotely. Coverage is strongest in Bissau and larger towns; islands and remote areas can be patchy. Top-ups are easy with Simology.
Insider tips
- — Public Wi‑Fi is uncommon and can be insecure — using your eSIM gives safer, direct access to mobile data.
- — Works on TGV & regional trains for uninterrupted maps
- — Rainy season (June–November) can affect travel plans and ferry schedules. Dry season (December–May) is best for island visits and wildlife spotting.
