About this tour

The tour begins with the departure from the selected hotels to visit some of the most important points where we can verify the history of the city of Salvador, its first streets, squares and churches.

We start with the Barra Lighthouse to reach the Cidade Alta through the Victory Corridor , Campo Grande and Piedade. It is the modern part of the city, so there are big buildings and shopping malls; the streets and avenues are very busy, and it is considered the economic center of Salvador.

Next we will walk through the Municipal Square, where are the Río Branco Palace and the City Hall, opposite the Lacerda elevator, from whose balustrades you can see one of the most beautiful views of the Bahía de Todos los Santos. 

From the viewpoint of the elevator, we will appreciate the Upper City, the Lower City and the diversity of angles offered by the variety of plans that offer the streets and houses of Pelô. We will continue to the Terreiro de Jesús, where the Basílica Catedral del Salvador is located, and we will visit the Church of San Francisco, one of the richest in Brazil and considered the most beautiful example of Portuguese Baroque in the world. 

We will end our tour at the Largo do Pelourinho, a place that mixes colors, races, culture and history. Recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco and immortalized by the illustrious writer Jorge Amado. 

At the end, we will return to the passengers' hotels.

Tourisme Salvador

Merci pour ce beau voyage à Salvador malgré une mauvaise compréhension de ma part qui a été réglé par l'agence. L'hôtel était vraiment très bien. Le personnel, la vue sur la mer et le petit déjeuner excellent. Les excursions ont été inoubliables et les guides et chauffeurs très sympathiques
