Sightseeing:
Spreading along a narrow peninsula, Guinea's capital city is noisy, chaotic and polluted, a dramatic contrast from the country's peaceful, picturesque interior, where most visitors choose to spend their time. Among the downtown sights are the Palais de Nations, Musee National (regional displays from all of Guinea), the Place de la Republique, the Niger markets and St. Mary's Cathedral (an early-20th-century structure). In the Camayenne district, the nation's largest mosque stands near Conakry's arboretum, featuring towering tropical trees and a private plant nursery.
