Senegal’s vibrant capital blends modern life with long-standing traditions, from Independence Square to the African Renaissance Monument and Soumbedioune market.
Dakar is rich in landmarks: Independence Square, the Presidential Palace, the cathedral and the 52-metre African Renaissance Monument all tell a different part of the capital’s story.
At Soumbedioune market, sculptors, weavers, tailors, jewellers and leatherworkers keep local craft traditions alive. Dakar’s constant energy is matched by the warmth of Senegalese Teranga.
