Gorée Island
Twenty minutes by ferry from Dakar's port: an island without cars, ochre houses with brightly painted shutters, and the House of Slaves. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. You go for the day — walk, have lunch facing the sea, and come back at sunset.
- Getting there
- Ferry from the port terminal. Set aside the day and bring sun protection: there's no shade on the quays.
- Best for
- A first outing, a family visit, a Sunday.
