A must for any visit to Dakar! It's very simple to take the ferry out to the island, and the ferry trip itself allows one a nice view from afar of Dakar. Goree is tranquil and peaceful, a wonderful change from Dakar! The former slave house closes from lunchtime until mid-afternoon (and open an hour later on Friday than the rest of the week), so you will want to plan your ferry and visiting schedule around that daily period of closure.
