From elaborate mosques to traditional architecture, bustling markets to serene beaches, lively cities to quiet villages, Senegal is a great destination. Dakar, the capital with its heart and soul around Place de l’Independence, has the best shops, restaurants, bars and clubs.
The Marche Sandaga, a colourful, bustling market is a must see. Senegalese music, traditional African pop, jazz, and steel bands can be enjoyed at several live music venues. St. Louis has a strong French influence, fascinating colonial architecture and is renowned for its International Jazz Festival.

- Thiès - main attraction is the co-operative-run tapestry factory, where tapestries are based on the paintings of Senegalese artists.
- Ziguinchor - the cheapest city. Marché St-Maur is great for food and presents.
- Cap Skiring - sun, sea, and sand - finest beaches
- Siné-Saloum Delta - the area is full of monkeys and ibird-life. Worth a visit for the scenery alone - mangrove swamps, lagoons, forests, dunes and sand islands.
- Tiny Gorée Island - with colonial-style houses, beaches and museums.
