best places to visit in senegal
Dakar
Dakar is the capital and largest city of Senegal.
The port is what has driven the boom in both population and size, not to mention that it brought enticing multiculturalism and energy to the city. Be sure to drop by the curious Soviet-esque rises of the African Renaissance Monument, the acclaimed Museum of African Arts, and the old Dutch slave trade ruins on Goree Island. And don’t forget to also delve into the curious medley of Lebanese eateries, African embroidery bazaars, roasted peanut stalls and raucous beer bars around wild Sandaga Market.
Ziguinchor
Ziguinchor is the capital of the Ziguinchor Region, in Senegal, lying at the mouth of the Casamance River.
The town is a patchwork of pastel-painted colonial builds and age-stained frontispieces dressed in European filigrees and Parisian designs. And while the major sights here are few and far between – such as the bustling Marche Saint Maur des Fosses, and the curious roundabouts of the Place Jean-Paul II – the real draw is the earthy African character of the place.
