Togo operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+0). The country does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains constant throughout the year.
All of Togo follows the same timezone. Major cities including Lomé, Sokodé, and Kara all observe GMT. Lomé, the capital and largest city, is located on the Gulf of Guinea and serves as the country's main port and economic center.
Togo is one of the narrowest countries in the world, stretching only about 100 kilometers at its widest point but extending 550 kilometers from the coast to its northern border. The country is known for its voodoo traditions and is home to the famous Akodessewa Fetish Market, the world's largest voodoo market.
