Getting Around by Air
There are over 20 small internal airports. The national airline provides internal flights, including to the outlying islands.
Getting Around by Water
Most towns are accessible by ship. Riverboats can reach almost all areas; there are ferries from Bissau, Bolama, Bubaque Island, Catio and Enyudé (often irregular owing to tides) and Bissau to Bafatá, calling at smaller towns en route. Coast-hopping ferries go from the north coast to Bissau.
Getting Around by Road
Traffic drives on the right. There are about 4,150km (2,578 miles) of roads, one-fifth tarred and a similar proportion improved for all-weather use. Improvements are planned. There are local and long-distance taxis and buses (the latter offer limited services).
Car hire: Expensive and limited to Bissau.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is recommended, although it is not legally required. A temporary driving licence is available from local authorities on presentation of a valid UK driving licence.
