That is fantastic experience to see a little version of St Peter Vatican in middle of nowhere. The visit accompanied by interesting guide for about almost 1 hour, unfortunately i was in French speaking group and get translated a bit by a visitor there.

Keep the religious angle aside- It would be a must on bucket list of religious jaunta.
One HAS to visit this place to feel the grandeur of the structure. It's HUGE and beautiful.response / report this review -

Wow, must try. Anyone coming to Ivory Coast for touring or holidays and not visiting this place would be a crime. Huge structure, friendly people, world tallest cathedral. Best time like early morning or late afternoon as temperatures bit higher side. Don't forget to take guide. Enjoy the gigantic structure with architectural uniqueness.

Very big in size and so colorful inside. Going to the roof of the church is so pleasant.

An absolute privilege to see this Basilica. It's beyond!
When we came last year, we had just missed the interior tours as they close around 6PM. Yet still, we were able to capture the beautiful light of the sunset and soak up the magnificent setting.
LUCKILY, two years later we made a trip of it and spent a day visiting the interior, receiving an EXCELLENT tour, and enjoying the property.
The tour guide spoke English and was a living encyclopedia sharing fascinating information about the building, history, and details. He also took specific and special photos with our phones, able to manipulate the shot for memorable pics.
On a side note, and because I appreciate a good plate - there is an excellent kitchen on the grounds serving a blessed delicious breakfast.
In addition, to many bonuses the drive is smooth and straight away, and Yamoussoukro offers a different environment from Abidjan. Mass every morning at 7AM and other times are offered on the weekends. A very special experience.response / report this review -

My hope and wish would be to see a woman ordained priestess in Our Lady of Peace, and would be happy to attend the event.
Come to think of it, I am not even a Catholic any more, as the Church excommunicated me for having had an abortion. I wonder how many women in the Ivory Coast have had an abortion, thus even without their knowledge having been similarly excommunicated by the Vatican.response / report this review -

It's really a stupendous artifact as it seemed from out side. I just had a glimpse while passing it by in car. I didn't have the scope to enter. It is said that it has got a Vatican look. A tourist will also find a big scenic Palm garden and a lake full pink Waterlily. It's simply amazing. The entire surrounding is completely green and cattle grazing has increased its natural beauty enormously. Have a happy visit anytime. Good luck.
