Dakar is the capital city of Senegal and the westernmost city of Africa. It has a long history and counts nowadays 1 500 000 inhabitants. Also, not a very big city comparing to other African metropolis, like Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Cape Town.
But a very nice one city is Dakar for sure. In some neighborhoods Dakar still keeps the flavour of the colonial times, in other the genuine smell and flavor of the African way of life. You can visit in Dakar the outskirts of Saint Louis (former capital of the French West Africa) and Medina (African life at its best).
Dakar, due to its excellent position, developed itself to one of the biggest and most important African harbors. Visiting the harbor is quite an experience which you may not miss while visiting Dakar, because is huge, impressive and interesting.
