Place de l’Independance (Independence Square), Dakar (must see)

Place de l’Indépendance is in the middle of the city's action. The square is located between the Chambre de Commerce and Ministere des Affaires Étrangères. The square is actually a beautiful, well-preserved garden, having in its center a fountain topped by lions, which is the symbol of Senegal. Place de l’Indépendance is a great place to relax and watch the city's busiest avenues.
