Things to See and Do in Monrovia

Try these sightseeing opportunities in Monrovia.

• Centennial Pavilion

Centennial Pavilion is used for the inaugural addresses of Liberia’s presidents. Inside, you can walk through its fascinating monuments and visit the grave of former president William V. S. Tubman. There’s also a mural celebrating the Liberian Declaration of Independence.

• Broad Street: A Singular Experience

Looking for the perfect place to take a stroll in Monrovia? Enjoy the arresting – and unique – American colonial architecture dotting Broad Street, something only otherwise found in the Philippines. 

• Other Monrovian Sights

Indulge in some urbexing at the iconic ruins of the once ultra-luxurious Ducor Hotel and Paynesville Omega Tower. While it’s not advised to try to enter this one, the dilapidated EJ Roye Building has also become an iconic sight in the capital. Looking for something unexpected to do in Monrovia? The Rivoli Cinema is an attractive building in itself, and shows some fun Bollywood movies too.

Museums in Monrovia

No visit to Monrovia is complete without taking in the sights of Providence Island, the place the first freed citizens of Liberia made landfall. In addition to some fascinating ancient relics, partially reclaimed by the Mesurado River, there’s the very first concrete work in the country. Then contrast the two trees – the 250-year-old cotton tree, and the monumental metal tree celebrating peace. There are also some historic building recreations to fully immerse you in the importance of this beautiful site to Liberian history.

Be sure to add the Liberian National Museum to your itinerary. From photography collections and art exhibitions – and, of course, archaeological and cultural collections – it’s a great way to lift the covers and peek into the real Liberia. The upper floors are also aesthetically beautiful, so take a moment to drink it all in.

Monrovia’s Most Beautiful Outdoor Experiences

Soft sand and bright water are calling at Ce Ce Beach, where one of the most beautiful ocean views in the world unfolds in front of you. Find plenty of fresh, succulent seafood to sample from the bustling beachside bars, swim and play in the water, and enjoy a gorgeous sunset while you’re here. If you need even more beautiful beaches, Kendeja Beach offers peace and serenity with less bustle than other Monrovian beaches.

Bomi Blue Lake, a quarry spectacularly reclaimed by nature, is just begging for a photo. There’s no obvious water source for this fascinating phenomenon perched high on a hill. Today you’d never know mankind shaped the local landscape – but it is said if you throw metal in the water, it will bounce straight back to you!

Have you ever wanted to gaze over three countries? Hike up Mount Nimba, and that’s exactly what you will have at your feet. With some of the richest bird and animal life in Monrovia, this is a spectacularly immersive nature experience. In Sapo National Park, enjoy the shade of trees that have stood for centuries, while endangered species play in the canopy above. This is also home to the largest population of pygmy hippos in the country. It’s a riot of botanical splendour.

Just outside Monrovia lies Kpatawee Waterfall, a pristine cascade of Mother Nature’s power and majesty that makes for a perfect day trip.

Where to Shop in Monrovia

The colourful and vibrant Waterside Market offers you a little bit of everything, from the mundane to the amazing. Bright traditional clothes and textiles, adorned with traditional Liberian tie-dye and embroidery, rub shoulders with tribal masks and crockery. Be sure to explore the speciality carvings and handicrafts, perfect souvenirs of your time in Monrovia. Indulge in carved soapstone Nomolis and bowls, tanned leathers, and so much more.

The deceptively named Mango Rags on Camp Johnson Road is another fantastic destination for those looking to take home beautiful textile work. Follow up your bargain hunting in Monrovia Market. Then head to Mamba Point for some delicious local treats and a refreshing beer.

Local Monrovian Festivals

You will find the Monrovian people friendly and welcoming at all times of the year. From dazzling drum displays to traditional cooking classes, there are plenty of ways to experience authentic, local culture no matter when you visit.

However, there are some amazing local festivities to watch out for if you’re travelling at the right time. And the best news? Everyone is welcome to join in, no matter if you celebrate the religion or belong to the culture. So take advantage of these exceptional opportunities to experience local culture by jumping in at the deep end.

Liberia celebrates American Thanksgiving on 4th November, in honour of the freed slaves who helped found the country. It also has its own Independence Day, on 26th July, when the whole country parties and enjoys the parades.

Eid al-Fitr, Easter, and Christmas are celebrated with plenty of food, family love, and generous sharing in a spirit of unity. In fact, local Muslim believers enjoy their own special meals and time with family as a secular holiday at Christmas, as happens in reverse at Eid. These are the two most popular holidays in Monrovia.

But they are closely followed by New Year's Day, when dance, traditional drums, live music, song, and bonfires welcome in a fresh new start. Unique to Monrovia, and held in November, there’s also the Children’s Day Festival at Monrovia’s Sports Stadium.
