Dakar Attractions Guide: Must-Sees & Skips 🇸🇳✨

✅ TOP RECOMMENDATION: Gorée Island (Slave Island) Boat Ticket: ~5,000-6,000 XOF (round-trip, hourly departures). Key Spot: House of Slaves Museum (1,500 XOF entry)—heart-wrenching history + extremely photogenic. Pro Tip: Buy tickets at two separate windows (tax + fare). ❌ SKIP: Pink Lake (Lac Rose) Reality Check: Not actually pink (unless sunset hits just right 🌅). Silver Lining: Free & clean toilets at the lakeside restaurant (owner is lovely—support them if you can!). Warning: Avoid buying water from nearby shops (tourist price scams!). ⚖️ Tie: Museum of Black Civilisations vs. African Renaissance Monument 🏛️ Museum of Black Civilisations (3,000 XOF): Modern, sleek architecture (near train station). No photos of people (armed police nearby—be discreet!). 🗽 African Renaissance Monument (6,500 XOF for foreigners): Free option: Skip the museum, just enjoy the panoramic city views from the outdoor platform. Paid perk: Guided English tours inside (ask staff!). ❌ Another Skip: Mosque of Divinity View > Visit: Best admired from afar (no interior access for non-Muslims). 🛍️ Souvenir Shopping Rule HAGGLE HARD: Start by cutting prices in half! 🔪 Bonus Area: Southern Dakar HLM Market: Massive local mosque (view from outside). #SenegalTravel #DakarGuide #CulturalGems #WestAfricaAdventures 🌍📸
