Why visit Dakar?

Dakar, the capital of Senegal, sits on the Cap-Vert peninsula, the westernmost point of mainland Africa. It is a vibrant city of music, art and markets, with Atlantic beaches and a lively, creative energy.

A short ferry ride away, Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has colourful colonial houses and the House of Slaves, a memorial to the Atlantic slave trade. In the city, the African Renaissance Monument, a huge bronze statue on a hill, offers views over the coast, and the Museum of Black Civilisations celebrates African culture. Visit the bustling Sandaga and Kermel markets and the Village des Arts, where artists work in open studios. The Corniche runs along the ocean, and the surf at N'Gor and Yoff is popular. Day trips reach the pink Lake Retba, coloured by algae, and the Bandia reserve. Dakar's music scene, home of mbalax, is famous. Try thieboudienne, the national fish-and-rice dish, and yassa.
