First stop in Dakar: the famous African Renaissance Monument. Yes, it’s touristy, but totally worth it. Massive, symbolic, perched on a hill, it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city and the ocean. Inside, an elevator takes you to the top for an unforgettable visual experience. It’s a great way to start exploring the contrasts, energy, and history of Dakar. This first stop sets the tone: a mix of modernity, African heritage, and breathtaking views.
Getting there is easy too. Brussels Airlines flies direct from Brussels to Dakar several times a week. Smooth, simple, and straight to the sun.
