The vision of the Sierra Leone Tourism Ministry is to transform the country into an attractive tourism and cultural destination. The vibrant and energetic capital city of Freetown is located in the Western Area of Sierra Leone framed by the majestic Sierra Lyoa mountains rising behind it. Attractions sure to entice visitors include the National Museum, Big Market, Gateway to Old King’s Yard, and Maroon Church.
The Northern Province is a paradise for eco-tourism and adventure tourism. It has ranges of mountains, hills, valleys and wetlands, comprising unique and endangered species.
