When to go
The best time to visit Guinea-Bissau is
winter, in particular, the months of December and January, which are the least hot among those in which it does not rain. It may be useful to bring a scarf for the dust brought by the wind.
For a
beach holiday, the dry season, from November to May, is preferable.
What to pack
In
winter: in Bissau and on the coast, bring light clothes for the day, a sweatshirt for the evening, and a scarf for the wind-borne sand and dust. In inland areas, you can add a light jacket for the evening.
In
summer: bring light clothing of natural fibers, a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for the rain.
