    Senegal renaissance monument)to me redefines African excellence, resilience, pride. The people, the architectures, the food, there’s 3 floors inside the monument and the 15th floor view is worth 3000 francs, I hope you speak French like us.

    Its a nice place but it could be much better. To visit the top you need to go trough (not very interesting) three floors of african sculptures and paintings. Then you need to wait in line for turns of 5 people to get to the elevator to the top (15th floor). There you only have about 5 minutes and the views are not great due to the dirty windows. There are 3 blank windows and you can get good pictures there

    The African Renaissance Monument in Dakar, Senegal, is a breathtaking symbol of African resilience and pride. Standing tall at 49 meters, it offers stunning views of Dakar. But to get to the monument, you need to climb almost 200 steps, wich under intense heat, is a bit tiresome, but Im my opinion, well worth it. It is by now, Dakar's most important ex-líbris, and a mandatory stop on a visit to the city.

    Great place to go and on top you’ve a good overview of Dakar city. There are also some young friendly people around and they may interact with you in a gentle way. Weekends can be crowded.

    This monument is so beautiful and it is worth it to go and see. It's free if you want to just go by and take pictures. It's a massive structure. I did not walk all of the stares to the top, but if you do you will definitely get in your exercise for the day. I didn't do a tour or anything. I just took a taxi here and hung out for a while and then went and had lunch nearby.
