Workation in Banjul: the essentials

Africa has few capitals as small as Banjul, which occupies St Mary's Island where the Gambia River meets the Atlantic and had just 26,461 residents at the last count, against about 406,000 in Greater Banjul. Known as Bathurst until 1973, it still has colonial streets, the Albert Market and the Arch 22 gateway at its entrance. Bridges connect the island to the mainland to the west, and ferries cross the river to Barra. Banjul International Airport is about 25 km away. With so little land to expand on, most businesses and foreign visitors have moved out to Serrekunda and the Atlantic resorts.
