African Renaissance Monument

Great views, along a common location & parking is available. Plus, there is a canteen that sells snacks & drinks. Four stars because they only had a French guide! Hence some of us missed out on a critical part of history

This place is so worth a visit. There was a lovely vibe all around last Sunday, with lots of people enjoying themselves. The steps are fun, great for photos and the view. People at the top were relaxed and many were buying boxes of popcorn. We decided to go into the statue itself and we're glad that we did. You just stand around listening out for when they will organise the queue for the next tour. When you eventually get to the top, you're actually in the hat of the man in the statue, and have great views all around of the city and the Atlantic Ocean.

Not sure why the Google listing gives you options for tickets. Maybe it is for tours, but you can literally walk up the stairs and look around. You do not need a ticket to walk up the stairs, take pictures, so forth and so on.

Must visit place in Dakar. Grand statue. Was fun with friends. One can go inside the status by paying some entrance fees.

This monument symbolizes the family leaving the past and negative for a forward future. The statue is one of the worlds tallest. The walk to the base is almost 200 steps and when I arrived to the base I found a discreet road up to the top that does not mar the monument. Toilets at the base are not working. The steps are set in flights of 10'steos or so with a bench to rest, catch one's breath, and enjoy the view Free of charge. Two eateries at the bottom street level offer lunch service

Definitely advise to go to the hat. Fun experience! We waited about 10 minutes to enter. It takes about 30 minutes to go through the museum before you go up into the hat. I recommend bringing change.

After climbing to the top, it offers very good views of the surrounding area.

An impressive and symbolic masterpiece that takes your breath away! The African Renaissance Monument is not just an extraordinary 49-meter-high sculpture, but also a powerful symbol of pride, identity, and rebirth for the entire African continent. Perched on a hill, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Dakar, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Africa’s history and future. The guided tour provides fascinating insights into its construction and cultural significance. A truly inspiring place that is absolutely worth visiting!”
