Ouidah is one of Benin’s most iconic cities, known for its deep historical roots and spiritual significance. Once a major hub in the transatlantic slave trade, Ouidah is now a powerful symbol of remembrance and cultural heritage. Key attractions include the Door of No Return, the Ouidah Museum of History (housed in an old Portuguese fort), and the Sacred Forest of Kpasse, filled with ancient trees and Vodun (voodoo) statues. Ouidah is also a spiritual center for Vodun religion, celebrated annually during the vibrant Voodoo Festival in January.
