Surrounded by water, Plateau is the city’s lively business district, home to government ministries and office buildings, plus St. Paul’s Cathedral with its modern, cross-shaped tower. The Musée des Civilisations de Côte d’Ivoire displays carvings, ceramics, and statues, while Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny hosts international soccer matches and athletics. There’s also a smattering of upmarket restaurants and bakeries.
