Bamako is the capital of the West African country of Mali and the country's largest city and economic center, situated on the banks of the Niger River in southwestern Mali. As an important port along the Niger River, Bamako is the commercial, industrial and transportation hub of Mali, with a busy agricultural trade market where cash crops such as peanuts and cotton are distributed. With a population of approximately 2.3 million, the city is multicultural, with a mix of tradition and modernity: from the busy Koulouba market, which showcases local life, to cultural landmarks such as the Bamako National Museum. Despite the challenges of urbanization, Bamako, with its welcoming atmosphere and nourished by the Niger River, is the political, economic and cultural heart of Mali and a gateway to explore West Africa.
