Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a poignant look into the history of the Atlantic slave trade. A visit typically lasts a full day, allowing time to explore the House of Slaves, the IFAN Historical Museum, and the island's charming streets. While the island is generally accessible, some historical buildings may present challenges for visitors with mobility issues. Both solo and guided tours are available, with guided tours providing valuable historical context. The cost is relatively low, with ferry tickets and museum entry fees being the main expenses. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, but visiting during the cooler dry season (November to May) is generally more comfortable. Be mindful and respectful of the sensitive history while visiting.
