It is not crowded on the beaches of Banjul anyway, but the tourist traffic to the city slows down significantly during these months. In June and July, Banjul receives a lot of rainfall and the highest average temperature can go beyond 34°C. Some tourists still like the toasty temperature of the Gambian summer. The rain makes Banjul seem greener, as the new leaves and foliage regrow over the trees in and around the city. It is still interesting to visit the city in the rainy season of Banjul. Additionally, the cheaper accommodation and airfare makes this escape truly grand.

Which are the most famous landmarks in Banjul?

  • The Gambian National Museum is the place to visit if the traveller wants a crash course in Gambian art, history and culture. The museum is laden with Gambian artefacts that celebrate the African traditions of the country. The ground floor of the museum actually displays the cultural and political history of Banjul city alone. The striking colours and tapestries on ancient pottery and sculptures showcase a time before the colonization of the country. In the basement of the museum, Gambian music and its evolution are exhibited. School children are often seen visiting the museum, accompanied by their teachers on school trips.
  • The Arch 22 monument in Banjul was constructed by a former president of Gambia, Yahya Jammeh. The arch represents the triumph of the bloodless coup de tat that deposed the first president of the Gambia, who was ruling the country since its inception in 1965. The Arch 22 has three levels. The second floor has a gallery that has a spectacular view of the beach and the rest of Banjul city. A statue of the “unknown soldier” is placed near the foundations of the arch. The Unknown Soldier appears to be holding a baby in one arm and making a victory sign from the other. The Arch 22 has become a place where people gather to celebrate almost everything.
