Freetown is named because it was first established as a settlement for freed slaves. Many of its attractions are anchored on its history. For example, Cotton Tree was where former slaves knelt in gratitude after regaining their freedom. You can pay a visit to Sierra Leone National Museum to learn more about the city’s - and country’s - past. Just across from the museum is Peace Museum and Memorial, which features a large statue that serves as a monument in memory of those who died in the civil war. Lumley Beach is a great option if you want to hit the beach. Meanwhile, Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary is the place to head to if you want to learn about local wildlife. Various attractions await you in the city. Stay in one of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Freetown, Sierra Leone, to give yourself time to see them all.
