Full Day City Tour Salvador with Lunch

Highlights / General details

Starting at the Farol da Barra, a lighthouse that now houses the city's nautical museum, the excursion then heads to the port of Barra, where you can see the forts of Santa Maria and São Diogo. From here, the tour moves on to Salvador's more traditional neighborhoods, namely Corredor da Vitória, Campo Grande and Piedade.

By far the most significant district visited is Pelourinho, the historic center of Salvador which is now a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site, with a dazzling array of seventeenth and eighteenth century architecture. Clinging to the steep hillsides, Pelourinho's picturesque colonial houses and churches (such as the Igreja do São Francisco), whose exteriors are decorated in a palette of colors, make this enchanting part of town a must for any visitor to Salvador. Lunch is taken at one of the various restaurants in Pelourinho.

In the afternoon the excursion continues to various spots for panoramic views of the city, plus the famous Bonfim Church, which hosts a range of religious events, the most important of which is the "Lavagem do Bonfim" or the washing of the steps. The day ends with a visit to the Mercado Modelo.
