City highlights tour: Most cruise port visitors wisely embark on guided city highlights tours that hop about the city's top attractions. Expect to visit Gustave Eiffel's prefabricated Iron House; the whitewashed Art Deco cathedral on Independence Square; the landmark century-old train station; the Natural History Museum, with its collection of taxidermic African animals; and the old Portuguese fort. Photographers and souvenir hunters will especially appreciate the marketplaces, too: the two most popular include the main Municipal Market (dating to 1901), with its colorful produce and spice stands, and the FEIMA-Feira de Artesanato handicrafts fair.
