Senegal’s vibrant capital abounds with hidden treasures and charming little streets that you can explore on foot.

Start with the ocean:

Start your journey at the mythical Mamelles lighthouse. Breathe in that sea air, admire that panoramic view of the city and imagine all the adventures that await you below.

Set off for the art district:

Next, head to the Medina, a colorful and historic district. You’re sure to come across local artists exhibiting their work in the streets. Tip: keep a few bucks for a special souvenir.

Gourmet break:

Walking makes you peckish! Treat yourself to a “Thieboudienne” (national dish of rice and fish) in a small local restaurant. You’re sure to tantalize your taste buds!

Music:

Let yourself be carried away by the catchy beats of Mbalax music as you stroll down the street. Maybe even a little impromptu dancing along the way!

And shopping of course:

End your stroll at the Sandaga market or the Soumbédioune craft village. From colorful fabrics to spices and handmade jewelry, you’re bound to find something to take a touch of Dakar home with you.

A day in Dakar on foot is like a box of chocolates for your health and spirits... You never know what you’ll come across, but every surprise is a delight. 

So, with sneakers on and your curiosity in tow, are you ready for the next “In the Move” tour?
