Museum of Black Civilization
The Museum of Black Civilization not only tells the story of Africa’s past but also showcases, through its many exhibits, just how diverse the African continent is.
Gorée Island UNESCO World Heritage Site
In just a few hours, this island reveals the atrocities of which the so-called colonial powers were capable back then.
The Door of No Return is a must-see.
Sandaga Market
If you want to understand what really makes Dakar tick, the Sandaga Market is an absolute must. It’s loud, haggling is encouraged, and here you can smell and taste Africa. It’s not a picturesque market in the usual sense, but it’s authentic.
