What to see in Salvador

Pelourinho, in the Historic Center, is a must-see: colorful mansions, baroque churches, and street music at any hour. From there, you can descend to the Lower City via the Lacerda Elevator, which costs just a few cents and offers one of the most beautiful views of the Bay of All Saints.

Barra Lighthouse is the place to watch the sunset. In the late afternoon, locals and tourists gather on the shore to see the sun set over the sea, something rare on the Brazilian coast. Porto da Barra beach, next door, has calm waters, good for swimming.

For those seeking a quieter beach, Itapuã and Stella Maris are further from the center and have stalls serving fish and moqueca (a traditional Brazilian seafood stew). A boat trip to Ilha dos Frades and Itaparica takes a full day and usually fits within a budget.
