The world's largest church is worth a visit. It is not expensive - 2000 per person (foreigners ) and additional 500 for camera. It is nice to have seen this great building - and the huge contrast to the rest of the city

Don't bother paying the fee to use your camera, you can take photos anyway.. Photos are allowed once you go up stairs, and it is possible to take great snaps.....the church is ...just big..very impressive !
Even after knowing how this architectural marvel came about, the actual sight still renders you speechless.

Must visit place
I witnessed today one of the best churches i have ever seen. Immensely huge and reflecting the faith of the people of Cote D'Ivoire. You have to visit the cathedral to witness the greatness
On a day trip to Yamoussoukro from Abidjan with colleagues, we did the guided tour of the Basilica. It's a replica of St Peter's in Rome, but slightly taller! (St Peter's only keeps the name of biggest church in the world because it has more chapels) It's well worth spending the two hours and two euros it takes to do this tour, it's very informative and makes you appreciate what an amazing piece of engineering this building is! As well as being gorgeous of course.
Be warned, part includes walking around the dome on the outside so take a hat, and take plenty of water when the heat is bearing down.
