About random cities in Benin

This picker maps Benin's 12 biggest cities onto an interactive 3D globe and chooses one at random with a cryptographically fair spin. The globe rotates to the winner and drops a pin on its exact location — anywhere from Cotonou to Godomè. Use it for travel brainstorming, geography practice, writing prompts, or settling a friendly "which city?" debate.

Benin is home to Ganvie, a remarkable village built entirely on stilts in the middle of Lake Nokoue. The capital is Porto-Novo, and Cotonou is the largest city on this map.
