This map shows cities, towns, villages, roads, airports and points of interest in Senegal.

Senegal, located in West Africa, offers visitors a diverse mix of cultural heritage and natural attractions. The country's capital, Dakar, situated on the westernmost point of Africa, serves as the main gateway for international travelers.

Key attractions include the historic Goree Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its role in the Atlantic slave trade, and the Pink Lake (Lake Retba), famous for its distinctive rose-colored waters caused by unique algae. The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary, home to over three million birds, attracts nature enthusiasts from around the world.

Visitors can explore the colonial architecture in Saint-Louis, another UNESCO site, or experience traditional Senegalese culture in the Sine-Saloum Delta. The best time to visit is between November and March during the dry season. The country is known for its vibrant music scene, particularly Mbalax, and its distinctive cuisine featuring fresh seafood and rice dishes. French is the official language, though Wolof is widely spoken.
