Holidays To Salvador

A rhythmic reminder of Brazil’s rich African heritage, the beat of bongo drums fills the narrow cobbled streets of Salvador’s historic Old Town. The heady mix of Brazilian and African culture here blends in a rich and frenetic splash of colour and music; best experienced during the buoyant annual festivities of Salvador Carnival. From the carnival to the cuisine, Salvador is a fascinating look into the intoxicating Afro-Brazilian fusion.

Beautiful architecture and irresistible energy

Salvador holidays are best spent ambling the picturesque city streets. Explore the pastel-coloured houses, charming colonial architecture, fascinating museums and beautiful baroque churches. When you’re done wandering, pause at one of the many local restaurants and bars, sampling traditional Bahain specialities and basking in the music that floats through the streets, night and day.

The unsung party capital of Brazil, Salvador lights up at night. To really get a sense of the vibrant atmosphere of this city, join the local revellers on their nightly street festivities. Watch the dazzling moves of the capoeira circles in the cobbled plazas, and move your feet through the samba, arrocha and forró dances. Wild festivals happen frequently, and there’s always cause for celebration on a Salvador holiday.

Aside from the myriad charms of the town, Salvador boasts some of the most magnificent beaches in Brazil, with palm-fringed, white-sand stretches hugging the entire coast. From surfing by the rolling dunes of Flamengo Beach, to stretching out on famous Porto da Barra beach, and finding tranquillity in the lapping waves of Guarajuba Beach, a holiday in Salvador fulfils all paradisal dreams.
