What to see in Senegal

Dakar

Tourist attractions Dakar

Set on the Cap-Vert Peninsula on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Dakar is the capital of Senegal and one of West Africa’s most dynamic cities. Its blend of African traditions, colonial influences and contemporary art makes it a destination full of contrasts, where lively markets sit alongside beaches and modern buildings.

Discover the African Renaissance Monument, wander the colourful Kermel and Sandaga markets or visit nearby Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of remembrance of the Atlantic slave trade. Interestingly, Dakar sits on the peninsula that’s home to Pointe des Almadies, the westernmost point of mainland Africa.
