Dakar
One day in Dakar, Senegal
A day through Dakar’s best-known sights that lie close together: Palais de la République, IFAN Museum of African Arts, Our Lady of Victories Cathedral, Dakar and Monument Demba et Dupont. 4 stops, about 2 km between them in straight lines; the streets make it longer.

Good to know
- Each day starts at the best-known place not yet seen and adds the best known within a short walk of it, then puts them in the shortest order. The places come from Wikidata (CC0), ranked by how many Wikipedias have an article about them.
- The map draws each day’s walk along the streets, routed by Valhalla on OpenStreetMap; the distances beside the stops are straight lines.
- Opening hours, tickets and closures are not checked: each place’s Wikipedia article has them.
