Where to stay in Niamey
Plateau gathers government offices, embassies and hotels, within walking distance of the centre. Yantala and Kouara Kano are residential and quiet. The right bank, around Lamordé, holds the university and more spread-out neighborhoods. Riverside areas concentrate restaurants and open views. Diori Hamani International Airport is to the south-east, some fifteen kilometres out.
Getting around Niamey
Green taxis run per trip and are shared between passengers, with motorbike taxis covering short hops. The Kennedy and Friendship bridges link the two banks — unavoidable crossing points worth planning around at peak hours. Distances stay modest across the city.
When to visit Niamey
The dry season runs November to May: the harmattan blows from December to February, then heat climbs sharply from March to May — Niamey is one of the hottest capitals in the Sahel. The rainy season, June to September, brings brief downpours and relative cool.
