Sightseeing in Dakar
- The most fundamental attraction of Dakar is the splendid island of Goree which is located at a distance of 1 km from the main harbor and is renowned as the erstwhile kernel of the Atlantic Slave Trade. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Goree has multiple attractions which include a beautiful beach, the haunting Goree Castle, the 17th century Goree Police Station and three museums which are devoted to women, the history of Senegal and the sea respectively. Spend a wonderful day here by slugging on the beach, fishing, visiting the marine preserve and inspecting Maison des Esclaves or the Slave House.
- Also get fascinated by the houses created in the colonial panache which litter this placid island and impart an antique streak to it. Then pass your evening by strolling in the vibrant streets, shopping, and feasting in the restaurants. And as you imbibe the serenity of this isle, rest assured that love will unfold in a new way before you.
- Dakar Grand Mosque, a cardinal religious site of the city is worth seeing.
- Do not miss IFAN Museum of African Arts which is one of West Africa's oldest art museums and indeed offers an enriching experience.
- Take your Valentine on a shopping tour of Sandaga, the city's main market and one of its prime locations. The other important markets of the city include the Kermel market and the Tilene market which is very close to 'Medina'.
- To pep up your Valentine holiday and savor it to the utmost, enjoy at Thiossane, the most well known bar of Dakar.
