Getting around Guinea-Bissau

Road: 

Road quality is poor, as are driving standards. During the rainy season (June to October), some roads can become impassable. Avoid driving at night.

Side of road: 
Right
Car hire: 

Expensive and limited to Bissau.

Coach: 

There are local and long-distance taxis and buses (the latter offer limited services).

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.

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.
