Workation in Ouagadougou: the essentials
The capital of Burkina Faso, with about 2.4 million people in 2019, is the country's administrative and economic centre and every two years the home of FESPACO, Africa's largest film festival. Its sights include the National Museum, the Moro-Naba Palace and the big central market, rebuilt after a fire in 2003. Coworking exists, and Thomas Sankara International Airport is about 2 km from the centre. The city was struck by attacks between 2016 and 2018, the country has been under military rule since 2022, and armed groups operate in large parts of it. Many governments, Germany's included, advise against travel, so read current advisories first.
