Because its international airport is located in the heart of the Senegalese capital, Dakar is often the first place people see upon arrival in the country. Although it is often a stopover en route to the Petite Côte or Casamance, the city is not short of its own touristic charm. Most of the hotels in Dakar are located in wealthy neighbourhoods, but it is also possible to find more affordable guesthouses in the most popular areas. The N'gor district, at the Pointe des Almadies to the west of the city, is home to many luxury hotels. It is the ideal location to discover Dakar's beautiful beaches for those after a relaxing break. The hotels in Corniche are particularly admired, and the ideal place to relax by the sea and take advantage of the coastal beaches. There are a number of interesting activities on offer outside the city, like canoeing day trips or the curious Lac Rose to the east of Dakar.
