The 50 best places to go out in Salvador

Traditional port in Salvador. Lots of little shops to buy useless memorabilia for your house, family and friends. Beautiful view of the port and sunset from the second floor restaurant/bar - makes it worth the trip.

Beautiful building and market by the marina. It’s worth a visit to browse through some souvenirs, however, little to no local and artisanal handicrafts. Also the vendors are quite pushy which ruined the shopping experience a little. In my opinion, there are other local vendors and artisanal shops around the city that offer better and unique handicrafts.

Surprise experience that turned out to be the highlight of my day in the area. Amazing visual experience. Totally worth the short wait on the day I visited.

Very touristy and a lot of stalls which sell exactly the same items. Nothing wow! Very nice terrace.

Amazing ! Lots of choice and everyone is very friendly. Lots of security too.

This is indeed one of the greatest and most know trademarks for anyone visiting Salvador for the first time. Currently, the market is passing by a renovation so its split in two different sections. But both have basically the same kind of products available. At first, I've thought this would be similar to São Paulo's Municipal Market; however, here you will find just two or three options of restaurants with most of the other places taken by souvenirs stores. It can be a great place if you're looking for this type of store but be attentive of the prices - you can similar items for huge price variance. Tip: things here are cheaper than most of the stores of Pelourinho. Extra tip: though the market itself may not be what you're expecting take the opportunity to visit the marine located a few steps of it. The view is stunning and a good place for nice photos.

Very busy market close to the cruise ship pier. Just a 5 minute walk. Definitely must see the underground museum for a small fee.

The City around the elevator is dangerous. The elevator looks good, but it's not spectacular to use.

A tourist attraction with a lot of history. ⭐ The elevator is very fast and takes you to the upper city in a few seconds ⭐ We did not pay an entrance fee and did not have to wait in a queue ⭐ Nothing else to say or to do. Very straightforward. It is an elevator after all. But fun nonetheless! Also, prices for souvenirs in the upper city are cheaper than at Mercado Modelo!

Lacerda Elevator was the first urban elevator in the world when it opened on December 8, 1873 the 63 meters tall elevator takes you from lower town to upper town. A major tourist attractions and photo spot of Salvador. Great views of the bay and the governors palace.

Beware of people who try to sell souvenirs and paint your body. They pretend it’s a freebie but will try to get as much as they can from you. Another advice, do not wear gold necklaces and such. Large groups or maybe with a guide is safer.

The history behind the construction is interesting, however it’s not a great place to go. Going up and down costs R$0,15 per visitor and the elevator is too crowded, hot as hell and smells sweat. Great view up there though.

It's very cheap at only R$0.15, and conveniently located. It facilitates a 10 minute walk from the ferry to Pelourinho or from Pelourinho to the market. There may be a bit of a line depending on the time of day that you visit. Can also get a bit hot during the day. There are stunning views from the top, a very popular photo op spot, as well as a famous ice cream shop help you beat the heat. Can't miss it on a visit to Salvador and I definitely recommend taking it at least once.

Better one to dine in. Beautiful ambient. Sitting area overlooking sun set and Mercado Modelo. It is right at exit of the upper level of Elevator. Best time to have ice cream is during sun set

CLOSED even though their own WEBSITE and BUILDING SIGN say it should be open!!! HAVE SOMEONE FIX THIS!!! What a joke... this is a major tourist attraction and you give your entire city a very bad name and reputation...

One of the best museums in Pelourinho. The history inside and art are beautiful. There is a small Cafe but one of the best things is the gift shop where you can buy reproductions of much of the art. A recent addition is the top floor that overlooks the city.

Pleasant museum dedicated to local author Jorge Amado. Decent café with wi fi. Good view of the main street.

A great collection of pottery. It was fantastic to have an understanding of the importance of Jorge Amado. It’s free on Wednesday.

Lovely houses and buildings

Very informative museum on Jorge Amado, the great brazilian writer from Bahia with a great view to the Pelourinho. Besides you cannot understand Bahia without reading a couple of his novels

An intriguing museum to discover the life and literary contributions of the renowned writer Jorge Amado.

Disappointing. Given the fact that Castro Alves is one of the greatest Brazilian poets the teather should do more to honour his memory. There is no guided tour and there is only a small collection of superb costumes from previous shows.

The Concha Acústica amphitheater is a great place for concerts. Baco Exu do Blues, the group we saw, was incredible, especially the back vocals.

Beautiful theater with excellent audio-visual technology. The lobby is decorated with original art work based on Castro Alves's famous long poem about the horrors of the slave trade. Impressive facility for many reasons.

It is just great. It has inside a low price parking.

show

And with a bit of luck, you can obtain free tickets!

Free entry!! For a great museum. Lots of history and floors to explore Definitely worth it Could improve the signace tho

Beautiful views, great artifacts, and welcoming staff. We got to interact with Alice, she is so well informed! She even taught us a few Portuguese phrases Lol. Highly recommend a visit to this museum for historical and cultural insight.

Stunning views of the city and easily one of the most beautiful spots in Salvador. It’s a popular destination for both locals and visitors, and for good reason. A great area to stroll around, take in the scenery, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.

Historical building with a great value by itself, the place also offers great views for pictures and sightseeing. Many people walking and doing sports at all times. Nice place like the are that around, try to visit early morning to avoid the massive tourist but recommend. It’s a nice place to take a walk around the beach

Nice area to walk to but I would say go during the day for sure. The area doesn’t seem great at night but there are a lot of police around. We didn’t get to go inside but was nice to see up close. People will try non stop to sell you things so just be prepared to say no lol

Excellent choice to discover the hidden history of Brazil.

Amazing view! It is historical fort in Salvador. We can feel and imagine that era atmosphere. Even for kids, they can enjoy fully this beautiful place.

(Translated by Google) The Yakisoba is actually tasty, but the restaurant advertises the quantity falsely! They advertise DOUBLE 1kg (so 2kg) and in fact not even 1kg of Yakisoba arrived (I made sure to weigh it). I do not recommend the order! (Original) O Yakisoba é até saboroso, mas o restaurante faz propaganda enganosa sobre a quantidade! Anunciam 1kg EM DOBRO (logo 2kg) e na verdade não chegou nem 1Kg de Yakisoba (fiz questão de pesar). Não recomendo o pedido!

(Translated by Google) I will never return to that place. Horrible service, high prices, the owner shouting at the kitchen staff and fighting with his wife, who works with him. Everything that happens in the kitchen, you can see sitting in the front chairs where they improvise a stage. The positive point: there is snooker and the place is not so badly located. (Original) Jamais voltarei a esse lugar. Atendimento horrível, preço alto, o dono aos berros com o pessoal da cozinha e brigando com a esposa, que trabalha com ele. Tudo que acontece da cozinha, dá pra ver sentado nas cadeiras da frente onde eles improvisam um palco. O ponto positivo: tem sinuca e o lugar não é tão mal localizado.

(Translated by Google) I ordered via Uber Eats, the pasta was delivered broken, there was not enough sauce for the amount of pasta, and the order was sent to the garden by bicycle, it arrived cold! I don't recommend it. (Original) Pedi pelo Uber eats, o macarrão entregue todo quebrado, molho insuficiente para a quantidade de macarrão, e pedido enviado para o horto de bicicleta, chegou frio! Não recomendo.

(Translated by Google) Disorganized, I bought a coupon at Pesca Urbano, but then it wasn't available, because it was closing at 4 pm due to problems at the store. I spoke on their WhatsApp and no one responds, poor service, apparently they are going bankrupt (Original) Desorganizado, comprei um cupom no peixe urbano, mas depois nao tava disponivel, porque estava fechando as 16 hrs por problemas na loja.

The outside is impressive and the inside even more so.

Not the most famous church in town, but it is probably the one that has the highest amount of gold in iits decoration.

Just wow!

Good to see.

Incredible

(Translated by Google) Building with a lot of history in the city. Inside the dome is all bathed in gold. An entrance fee is paid when entering to tour. It is a short and express visit but it is still good to do. The price is not expensive. Inside it is very well preserved, tidy and clean. (Original) Edificio con mucha historia en la ciudad. Por dentro la cúpula está tod bañando en oro. Se paga una entrada al ingresar para recorrer. Es una visita corta y express pero que de todos modos está bueno realizar. El precio no es caro. Por dentro está muy bien conservada, ordenada y limpia.

Best Brazilian liquor at the most affordable prices! The signature cravings cocktail is sweet and flavorful with a nice sugar cane aftertaste, yet strong enough to get you to party and dance through the night. A must try for anyone visiting Salvador!!

If you like Fireball, you SHOULD try this little and wonderful drink!! A traditional and sweet shot!! The environment is really cool, full of people and great vibes!! Come to live this experience, please!!

Must visit if you're in Salvador old town. Traditional alcohol are the best.

Lovely mix of drinks with plenty of local infusion of herbs. Some food also served, always a pit stop for me, its a must try of you don't know!

Very packed at bar counter and sitting area inside. Cannot see action from outside. Very interesting. Facing the square. Must visit.

Awesome authentic experience in the old town of Salvador. Lively crowd friendly waiters and cheap prices. Their house made cachaca blend is tasty and customary to chase with an ice cold beer. Sit down or hang by the counter and if hungry consider the shrimp-some of the best we’ve ever had

Kris and I LOVE this place. When we went to Salvador in 2017, we went there 3, maybe 4 times. The service is spectacular, and the cachaças are even better. I loved the wine cachaça. We bought a few bottles and brought them to us to the United States. Our friends also loved it. And don't forget to order the linguiça for an appetizer. Can’t wait to go back!

São Marcelo Fort, formally known as Forte de Nossa Senhora do Pópulo e São Marcelo is located in Salvador in Bahia, Brazil. It is located in small bit of land off the coast in the Baía de Todos os Santos. Standing on a small bank of reefs about 300 metres (980 ft) from the coast, it is one of two forts separated by water from land in Brazil, the other being the Fort Tamandaré da Laje Tamandaré in Rio de Janeiro. It is the only cylindrical fort in Brazil. Its design follows those of Castel Sant'Angelo in Italy and São Lourenço do Bugio Fort in Portugal. It is popularly known as the "Forte do Mar" (Fort of the Sea). It was built to protect the important port city Salvador from threats; the city had the largest number of forts during the colonial period of Brazil

Legal

I liked. Good place, good people.

G guy in CMYK go jjji

amazing

Loved it

Interesting museum about the Carnaval in Salvador. Lovely display of carnaval costumes, figurines, pictures and masks. There’s a nice little restaurant on the terrace with a view of Pelourinho and baía de todos os santos.

This place is amazing. The museum part is well cared for, displaying lots of carnaval's history, the outfits worn by famous people and the best of the best performances. The rooftop not only serves delicious coffee, they also serve food. We had the bobó de camarão. It was amazing! The staff is super friendly.

The museum is really well kept and in great condition. The video clips are informative and are offered in English as well which is useful if you can't understand Portuguese. Because the videos are long, it would be good if they had benches so people can sit and watch, we ended sitting on the floor. Also, the music in the museum is too loud considering you have to listen to a video. My data wasn’t working well inside and there was no wifi, which can be fixed. The sound on some of the videos would drop here and there, not sure if it is because of the data connection.

So much information and a beautiful display. It’s mostly videos so be prepared to watch a lot. There’s no wifi so that’s a problem that should be fixed as my data wasn’t working well inside. The videos Dont line up in time so you kind of have to wait until the video finishes to watch it from the start. We were in there a lot longer than necessary.

Although according to the schedule it was open, when we arrived the museum was closed for a long time already. Don’t really know when it’s open and how it is run. Seems like a scam

Beautiful museum about the Bahia Carnival. There are many masks and an interesting interactive cinema with different carnival sound and music. It's worth to visit 🇧🇷

Very detailed video footage and audio information about the history of carneval. Earphones and audio are handed out at the entrance to the museum. There are several screens with videos and historical information, very easy to follow. To round the experts off there's a room with dancing instructions on a screen, you can dress up to look the part too.

Unfortunately, this is a museum that could likely be skipped if you are pressed for time. However, it is free so if you are passing by I would think it is worth dropping into. The best thing is the view. There is no WiFi. Perhaps check the exhibitions prior to visiting to see if it is worth a visit for you.

They have cheap but nice jazz concerts at Saturdays. Take a cab or an uber to came here. Avoid cars once there's no much space to park and there's a lot of people offering their "services" to take care of yours.

Great exhibitions and beautiful buildings on the water. Jam no MAM (jazz after sunset) is fantastic.

It's a fabulous place that lacks professional assistance. The church, the main house and the patio are wonderful photo spots. I missed someone or some technological gig to tell the history and what was there to see. One should visit because it's a memory of slavery times in Salvador.

It will only worth to go, if you love unpleasant pieces of art and loves to be "the cultural person" Apart from the beautiful view of the deep inequality of Brasil. And last but not least, take care with your belongings, due to the community that will beg you some money to park your car.(don't believe them, there is a parking lot down the road)

No need to say that this is one of the most beautiful spots in Salvador. The sitio features a brand new - and small - charming cinema for art movies. The Chapel itself has been recently renewed and now counts with a fixed exhibition.

It’s kind of sketchy crossing the busy thoroughfare to arrive in foot. We found a single room with some cool paintings but hardly worth the detour. It’s my j derstanding that parts are j see renovation so perhaps it will improve

A wonderful and unforgettable experience exploring this market. Lots of little stalls with locals selling local produce, handicrafts, fresh seafood and traditional ingredients. We also had the chance to try the local delicacy called Abará which was freshly made and delicious! The prices are very reasonable and cheaper than anywhere I’ve seen in Salvador. Vendors don’t pester you to buy and offer free samples.

Absolutely awesome.

Here you are able to find all the fresh items from fruits to vegetable, and most of local must ingredients such as spices and okra, including live chickens, pigeons and goat. One of the oldest markets with many narrow alley and streets, here vegetables and fruits are less expensive than local super markets. During the peak hours it can get very crowds but is very safe place. I

Must see! Enjoyed the sights and sounds!!

Totally local and big market. You can buy a grocery, utensils, fresh from farm vegetables, fresh from farm fruits, grains, coconut, chicken, meat, wild farm chicken, bird, disposable, flip flops, cheese, oils, ghee’s, bags, etc many many things at very very very reasonable price. Also there’s the local food restaurants with view but little bit crowded. You will find everything’s here in a very reasonable price you can enjoy here shopping.

If you are tourist in salvador, go to feira de São Joaquim, they have peacocks in cages with chicken, cashew nuts and Brazil nuts 40 r$(9eur) per kilo, voodoo shops, cheap fruit. It’s good fun

Very nice church and is considered among the most important churches in the world. It is rich and worth a visit.

Very beautiful church, worth a visit. ⭐ No entrance fee. ⭐ Not crowded at all. ⭐ You are not allowed to take pictures once you are behind a certain barrier. But you are allowed to take pictures at the entrance. ⭐ Very grand and beautiful church.

this building is so so beautiful. The courtyard is covered in tiles that are donated by the portugese king in 1795 (according to my guide), and the inside is covered in gold. I cant even begin to describe it. There are so many statures and sculptures , its breaktaking. Theres also a cemetery of some sort where some ancient bones lay. I heard it also contains the living quarters for some reverened father. This place was really beautiful and its a must see if you ever are in Salvador

Gorgeous and interesting Church We stumbled across this during our walk around Pelourinho and what a gem it is. There were flowers laid down the aisle of the chapel so I assume there was soon to be a wedding there and it looked truly stunning. Walking around to can go into the Throne Room and Crypts followed by other rooms with information and artifacts. Just after the Crypts there was an outside area but we didn't venture out there as it seemed this was the reception area with the same flowers as the Chapel so likely for the wedding but it was gorgeous.

Igreja e convento de Sao Francisco De Asis is a highly recommended stop on your next visit to Pelourinho Salvador. It's stunning from the outside and lights up beautifully at night. The real beauty however is seen in the fine detailing and elaborate use of gold on the inside. The cost to enter is only R$5 / US$1( in March 2022 ), a price thats more than worth it. The pictures really don't do it justice. They don't provide tour guides so I would advise visiting as a part of a walking tour of pelourinho, to get details on the history. Definitely add it to your list of must do in salvador.

It is a baroque church, a masterpiece! The interior is breathtaking! Totally covered by with gold-colored wood, magnificent. While the cloister is completely covered with a cilco of white and blue mosaics that put in drawings of the judgments of Horace. Definitely worth the visit. The cost is 15 Brazilian Real, less than 3 dollars.

A stunningly gorgeous church located in Salvador. The price of 10 reais is well-worth the visit. The architecture and views are amazing.

A very nice restaurant with a big variety of appetizers and main dishes. The drinks are good also and the place has a full bar. The waiter was a little off when we asked for the wine list twice and still never got it. He never said a thing when he let us order the siri pie on its own and it was also part of my main dish. And the fish was also the same as the other fish we ordered. The Doctor dish was so salty that it was hard to eat. The price is on very high, but overall it was still a nice meal.

Restaurante Casa de Teresa in Salvador offers an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that combines tradition and elegance. The dining room feels both lively and comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed meal or a special evening. The food is remarkable. Traditional Bahian dishes are prepared with care and presented beautifully. The moqueca in particular is rich in flavor and perfectly balanced, and the desserts are a highlight as well. Every detail, from the freshness of the ingredients to the presentation of each plate, shows real dedication. This is one of the best places in Salvador to enjoy local cuisine at a very high level.

Ordered the seafood moqueca and really enjoyed it—the flavor was rich, fresh seafood and super tasty. The dish itself was great, but the service was a letdown. The server didn’t seem too happy I was there, maybe just not too welcoming toward tourists. Seems like others have had similar experiences, which is a shame. Hopefully that’s something they can improve on, because the food is definitely worth trying.

Good food and good vibes! The food was really good especially the bolinhos de feijoada! We had to pay for piano music - which was a bit funny

Delicious, well cooked food with incredible flavours and generous portions! A stunning restaurant with great service and super friendly staff. We had Mocqueca with prawns and one with soft shell crab - both incredibly tasty and great condiments. We also had the steak and the leg of lamb witch were cooked to perfection 🤩 We all left feeling like we all had a food experience worth the money! Highly recommend.

The place is amazing and the ambience is good. However, this one waiter named Cardoso is arrogant and impatient. He doesn't deserve the Service Fee, unlike Alexander, he is a good waiter. As an icon of gastronomy in Salvador, Cardoso shouldn’t be rude to his guests.

The food was really good and tasteful. one of the best we had on our days around Salvador/ Barra. The atmosphere is also very good, although I was expecting more related to service. The waiters were not so kind. We asked twice to change the place due to the air conditioning, but without good attention. Due to the value and I was expecting more.

Quite a nice lunch experience. Service was a little slow due to Carnaval crowds, and value for money was slightly high, but a very solid option nonetheless. Food was well-flavored and arrived with a nice presentation. Recommend the Brazilian beer with fish and shrimp moqueca with hot chili sauce on the side!

Fantastic restaurant right in the heart of Pelourinho. I got the seafood moqueca and the shrimp and fish was incredibly fresh and the coconut curry was super fragrant. There is AC inside as well, perfect for a warm day. Great service too! Thank you!

Beautiful meal! Service was excellent and the food was fresh and abundant. Would highly recommend the mixed hot starters to share and the fish stew, and the cinnamon tapioca dessert with coconut ice cream was 10/10

Amazing food! Great service highly recommended. The broscettas are great. The coco salad that have the palmetos, chicken and greens was great. We had the steak with beans and the fish with banana and pure potatoes and it was the star of the show!! Highly recommended. The sweets were amazing too! I highly recommend the coconut sweet with doce and ice-cream! The restaurant's location is amazing too! Highly recommend it

We just happened to stumble upon this restaurant and everything was DELICIOUS. My dad loved the salmon and I got the steak and tagliatelle pasta. Plus the tapioca cake with ice cream for dessert was simply fantastic. Definitely stop by if you’re in Salvador!!

This place is a diamond! The service, the food, the drinks, the flavor. Wow! To start, we had the shrimp soup and the cheese with banana (so amazing, a must have). For entrees we had the vegetarian Moheca and the shrimp and pineapple over rice. Both unbelievably good. Not to mention the drinks. Go here!

Good food, nice location, but the place seems to be overpriced and overhyped. Ordinary Negroni cocktail was 50% more expensive than in other high end restaurants around - that's indicative also for the food: high prices, small portions, and while the fish I ordered was good, it also did not stand out specifically.

One of the must beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. Lovely place to hang out with family and/ or friends.

A lovely place to see the sunset and have a cool drink

Good place to see the sunset but lots off people and hard to find parking

What a nice view at this place! Recommended for sunset

I love to watch Beautiful sunset here.

Hard to find parking. However, It is a beautiful place to check out. I hear sunsets are amazing here. I was not able to catch one while i was there. There is a nice little bar that your able to sit and take some drinks and enjoy the ocean. :) Try to find a a good spot and relax for a bit.

Great photo opportunity. Iconic Salvador scenery. Other reviewers have remarked that parking can be difficult but honestly, I never have that problem; I just pay a few reais to the attendant working nearby and go on with my day. There's normally someone leaving and I can snag their spot. (I also rarely if ever go on weekends). There's a bar where you can grab a drink, as well as a drink stand (they accept cash & Pix!) - I highly recommend grabbing a caldo de cana and watching the sunset from here.

An amazing home and museum worthy of being compared to other famous homes of intelectual and artists in other place around the world, such as Neruda's and Frida's. Highly recommend visiting with a lot of time.

Good to see if you know Jorge Amado or are interested in Bahian culture. The gardens are great and the house itself is pretty impressive, but lacks lots of things from how it originally was. One of the guides speaks English. Can be difficult to park on the street, normally full.

The house where Jorge Amado spent most of his life with his wife, now a museum with rich collection of his memories.. Access is very easy by car, and walking distance from near by bus stop. Is very well organized and staff helpful and ready to provide for answer to your questions, the house is divided in many rooms with audio visual display. Wednesday is free admittance. Don't forget to mingle in the gardens with many native trees and beautiful orchids! Elevator for disabled and easy parking near by street.

This is actually the home of jorge amado! Ticket is 20 Reias, which is very expensive! If possible go there on Wednesday entrance is free! Btw nice and beautiful place

House-museum or writers Jorge Amado and zélia Gattai. Guided tours.

author jorge amados home and museum about his life and his work interested but very little information in languages ​​other than portuguese

The best art place to visit in Salvador! Thank you for this great gift!

Beach club with service, drinks food and music. They offer shower and smash pool as well, today there is massage service for R$90 an hour

This place sits right on the beach; there are several seating options inside or at the beach itself, so you will definitely find a comfy spot to settle in. They have a really varied food menu, so everyone can find something to eat, or from random vendors on the beach. Sometimes they also have live music, which really adds to the great atmosphere. Besides that, they have all the necessities—clean bathrooms, outdoor showers, and even a small pool where you can cool off a bit. But the best part is definitely the beach itself—it is absolutely magnificent! In my opinion, it is one of the best beaches in Salvador.

Over price and the service is average for their proposal. We asked for “aipim frito” took 1h and arrived cold. The other stuffs arrived before and was ok.

Great service here! The servers and staff are friendly. Speaks little English, but service is not compromised.

Nice beach, decent food, cold & affordable drinks

Maybe one of the best beach bar I've been (not just in Brazil). It might not be the pimpest one bit definitely for the price that's the most luxurious. Been there several times, it's a spot definitely. You can stay all day, drinks and food is good quality and fresh. Bars in At Tropez aren't much more luxurious (after all we talk about tables, chairs and umbrellas in front of the beach with waiters running around with food and drink, it's hard to differentiate) and the prices are to the roof. Weather is just amazing, all year.

Nice place, especially when it's not super sunny.

A place full of color and merchants

(Translated by Google) Praça da Sé is a public space that emerged in the 1930s. The old Primatial Cathedral, which gives the square its name, was demolished in August 1933, along with two other blocks of buildings in the Historic Center, after years of debate and considerable controversy. The demolition took place at a time (the early 20th century) when downtown Salvador was undergoing extensive urban development, and the purpose of destroying the colonial buildings was to make way for the tram tracks of the Bahia Circular Railway Company. The space created by the demolition gave rise to Praça da Sé, which now houses the trams and the Belvedere da Sé, leisure, cultural, and tourism facilities overlooking All Saints Bay. (Original) A Praça da Sé é um logradouro público surgido na década de 1930. A antiga Sé Primacial, que dá nome à praça, foi demolida em agosto de 1933, junto com mais dois quarteirões de edifícios do Centro Histórico, após anos de debates e grande polêmica. A demolição foi realizada numa época (o começo do século XX) em que o centro de Salvador passava por muitas reformas urbanísticas e o objetivo da destruição dos edifícios coloniais foi dar lugar aos trilhos dos bondes da Companhia Linha Circular de Carris da Bahia. O espaço criado pela demolição deu origem à Praça da Sé, que passou a abrigar os bondes e o Belvedere da Sé, instalações de lazer, cultura e turismo, com vista para a Baía de Todos os Santos.

(Translated by Google) A place with a beautiful view of All Saints Bay, very well organized and clean, and very safe, it is definitely worth visiting this place. It is next to the Lacerda elevator, I went on a Monday and it was very quiet with few people, great for taking photos. (Original) Local com uma vista linda da baia de todos os santos, muito bem organizado e limpo, além de ser bem seguro, vale super a pena conhecer este local. Fica ao lado do elevador Lacerda, fui em uma segunda-feira e estava bem tranquilo com poucas pessoas ótimo para fazer fotos.

(Translated by Google) It turned out beautifully, after the renovation, and very safe! (Original) Ficou lindo, pós reforma e muito seguro!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, in the historic center of Salvador (Original) Lugar lindo, no centro histórico de Salvador

(Translated by Google) A place of history with a certain beauty and a place where social differences are present. Here you can see a little bit of everything. We were very worried about pickpockets, but the police were well-guarded and we didn't have any problems. I think it depends on the time of day and the time of year. Just be careful where you park your car. Before reaching the streets/alleys, we were approached by men who wanted to make it difficult for us to get through, but with a lot of empathy and a few minutes of conversation, we managed to get out. Apart from that, we walked around the place without any problems. (Original) Local de história com sua certa beleza e um que das diferenças sociais, aqui se vê um pouquinho de tudo. Fomos com muito receio dos batedores de carteira, mas estava bem policiado e não tivemos nenhum problema. Acho que depende do horário e da época do ano. Tenha cuidado apenas no local aonde parar o carro, antes de chegar nas ruas/vielas fomos abordados por homens que queriam dificultar a nossa passagem, mas com muita empatia e a perca de alguns minutos de conversa conseguimos sair. Tirando essa parte, andamos tranquilo pelô.

(Translated by Google) Perfect for a leisurely stroll! Some historic buildings are being restored, which will further enhance this area. It's well-policed ​​and has several stalls selling handicrafts, tapioca, juices, and smoothies made with local fruits. (Original) Perfeito para uma caminhada , sem pressa! Alguns prédios históricos estão sendo restaurados, o que vai melhorar mais ainda esse local. É bem policiado, tem várias barraquinhas de artesanato, tapioca, sucos e batidinhas de frutas locais.

We were walking around rio vermelho and found Boteco. The outside art is breathtaking, which was done by Bel Borba. Highly recommend going early to sit outside in the alleyway. We saw a lot of people getting the octopus and black rice, and it did not disappoint. Get the “baby size” because this was the perfect size for two people. The regular size can feed 3-5. Overall, probably the best food in rio vermelho. The only downside would be the staff were a bit chaotic trying to get bills. I think the machine went down and it started to rain so looking to find seats for people sitting outside.

Best experience so far: food and drinks are out of this world!! The environment gives you a lot of joy and makes you feel thirsty for more Caipirinhas!! The service is amazing!! Definitely if I come back to Salvador I’ll comeback here, guys!! Thank you so so much for such a tremendous experience, team!

I came to this place for a recommendation and it was just a blast. Amazing seafood We had camarao do chef

The fried bolinhos were tasty. I went for an early dinner so missed the crowd. Good service. A bit on the costlier end.

A very well run restaurant with quality food and friendly servers. The restaurant is very busy and is well run. The kitchen is clean and the chef and kitchen staff are exemplary. I came for the octopus and shrimp rice!

On the menu all looks good but when the dish arrives, there’s a big disappointment. I ordered octopus with rice but what arrived was a risotto with tiny pieces of shredded octopus! I could not have been more angry as I was left to eat a huge portion of rice really..as octopus was nowhere to be found…I’d recommend to avoid this place and go to a proper restaurant…

Delicious and local food with the choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Food came over an hour after we ordered it. We got steaks and they asked how we wanted them cooked. We asked for rare and medium rare, it arrives dry as hell and like a brick. AND an hour late. Unbelievable. Beautiful location but awful service and quality control. *review edit* Second steak arrived only 15 minutes later. It was indeed VERY RARE. The quality of the sauce was very very good and the meat cut was also great. All the elements for this place are there, just some finesse is missing.

Wonderful interior and view on a sunny day. Nominally airy place, however the kitchen smell lingers inside. Food was disappointing. Tapioca cubes easily the worst I had over 2 months. Omelette too oily, reminds me of my grandma's practices. Coffee with milk was good for Brazilian standards. Which is questionable on its own.

Dadinhos de tapioca was pretty small but it was one of the BEST Dadinhos de tapioca I’ve never had!!!:) Sandwich Matisse was good too! A quite rich and tasty cream cheese! Torta dos deuses was a fantastic tart!A bitter chocolate and a passion fruit cream match very well. Also they have a great ocean view and a sweet cat:) We arrived ten minutes before their opening time and few people were already waiting outside! If you want a terrace seat, it might be better to arrive earlier!

stunning scenery and wonderful cups collection！

Excellent coffee ☕️, delicious deserts and amazing view! There's a line to get inside especially during sunset but it's totally worth it! So, get there early..!

Many great things are already written about cafelier in other reviews. They're all true. The torta dos deuses dessert is just delicious, 100% delicious. The rondele de espinafre com ricotta is also a must.

This place is a must. It's located in the historic center of Salvador and offer an amazing view of the city from a hanging balcony. All these could be enough to enjoy a cold beverage and relax your musles from the walking, but it would be a shame not to try its cuisine. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked medium-rare, try it.

What an interesting and incredible church so much history and culture pure beauty such a wonderful vist

Beautiful. 10 reais for entrance

I was told it was the first church in Brazil, so I visited for historical/touristic reasons. But I met Mass, and that added to the beauty of the experience.

Beautiful Grand Catholic cathedral st the main city square

Very beautiful church with a lot of history and the surrounding area is very attractive. There is an entrée fee, but it is worth it!

One of the most important monuments in Bahia impressive artwork and architecture

Cathedral rococo style. Gold, luxury, art, astunishing church. The priest plays the ancient and perfectly preserved organ in the afternoon.

Fantastic, I recommend ride a bike on the shore and specially appreciate the view and relax for a moment here, just be aware of some intrusive street vendors they can be very insistent sometimes.

The place itself is nice, but I got robbed here. Just after leaving the hill/morro, when going back on the pedestrian/bike way, a guy stood before me and jumped on me to ripped off my necklaces. Hopefully that's all he take of me. It was noon, 11am, full sun, and witnesses around, it didn't stop him. A guy from the same hostel as me got robbed at the exact same place, at midnight, guys pointing a gun at him, he had to give everything. Don't go there with valuable things, or don't go at all

It is nice and comfortable to walk to the statue. The steps were low and there was signing all over. The view is wonderful to the Spanish point until the Barra Lighthouse. The view of the avenue is clean. Many cocoanut trees in the garden.

Seems to serve as a resting place. Some climb to the monument on top which is an excellent scenic photo spot. Or many sit on grass at the base of the monument. Some purchase lunch from nearby restaurants creating a picnic at the monument.

Nice area to walk to. Beautiful views of the ocean.

Very beautiful and clean place with positive vibes

Beautiful location to catch the Sunset.

Great location, music and fantastic service. (Shoutout to Leo!) I went with a group and he was so patient with some people changing orders and kids being picky. The food was good and my jabuticaba juice was delicious.

Nice restaurant aiming for a more gastronomical take on the local cuisine than surrounding restaurants. Interior decorations on the quirky side with mismatched tables and chairs and seemingly the paintings are for sale. Also a terrace outside. Friendly and prompt service and the food was very tasty. The starter of bolinho de arroz was good. The main course of moqueca de banana com camarão was delicious. The food was a bit slow to arrive, but worth the wait. Prices are a bit steep, but not at all unreasonable - especially at lunch time. Total for 2 courses and either coffee or dessert and a soft drink came in at R$59.40. Recommended.

I didn't eat there because I wanted to eat another kind of food, but the server was super nice with me letting me look at the menu and very cordial.I will be back to eat next time

50 minute wait for cold food and we were the one of two couples in the restaurant. Really unprofessional and had many staff but none seemed to be working. Unprofessional.

We visited here for lunch at the end of March with friends who had just arrived in Salvador. The restaurant looked nice and was only about 20% full. The food was tasty and the decoration light and interesting. The food took along time to arrive, which is ok in itself, but when it arrived one meal was left off the order (we did not reorder and and shared the food amongst the children that we had) and one meal came after everyone else had finished eating. Drinks we ordered on arrival, came after we had finished eating including a simple beer. Despite me going to the bar to ask for them when asking the waitress several times failed. But the worst was the over charging on the bill. I picked up on the 6 beers when we had the one (you know the one that took about 30 mins to open and bring to the table). The price for 6 beers was not even correct. I got up and quietly told the lady who had introduced herself when we arrived as the owner I would like the bill and was unfortunately not willing to pay service as (for the first time in my life) as it had been so utterly bad. The bill arrived with service on it... and after asking the for the removal of the 5 beers and re informing I was unwilling to pay service the waiter starting begging me to pay service, it was really embarrassing with him just repeatedly asking me to pay. I asked if they only receive service and do not get a salary too, said they did receive a salary but kept on pleading for me to pay. I dont know what was going on that day, we just wanted a good meal with friends we had not seen in some years and were all in a good mood. Rio Vermelho is blessed with many amazing and interesting restaurants so there is no need to eat here. If you do the food is not bad at all but check your bill very carefully. Later at home I went though the online menu and compared to what we consumed and when that did not add up either, I decided to go back to the restaurant in the evening. and talk to a manager or the owner but it was closed.

I was looking forward to this restaurant because of the good reviews but unfortunately was disappointed from the first minute. - I waited 10 minutes just to get the menu - It took 45 minutes for the food to arrive. Starter and the main course was served at the same time - 0 attention from the waiters. You need to ask at least twice for everything - The beef (filet mignon) was dry and the pasta bathed in sauce. - Waited another 10 minutes just to get a water and then again 15 minutes for the bill (after having asked two times) - Paid in cash and waited another 15 minutes to get back the change - Total price 154 Real

Great food, atmosphere and service. It’s always a pleasure to enjoy a black-owned business💗 Will certainly be back!

Beautiful building with great views of the sea. Only one or two rooms are accessible with small exhibitions. The grand staircases and numerous other rooms not fulfilling their potential.

You can history of salvador. Old presidents, information about wars etc. Entrance free. There is a nice balcony to see THE view.

This is a masterpiece of history, spectacular place.

Closed for renovation. No signs to say it was closed.

Nice

Such a historic place to visit as a tourist.

Beautiful, if you´re around here don´t miss it.

Fantastic food and among the best Caipirinhas I have tasted. Attentive service and a great way to share a few plates and while away a few hours when in the old town of Salvador. 8/10 would recommend.

Excellent restaurant, go for the Moqueca and you won't regret it. Quantity and quality of food are great for the price! Cheaper than other restaurants around. It is a small restaurant, service was not slow as I could read in others comments. For me the best Moqueca I ate until now

Just flown in to Salvador, hungry and in need of refreshments. Had already been told about this restaurant and then it turned out it was part of the hostel and round the corner from where I am staying. Now I’ve had some nice burrata dishes while in Brazil but haven’t found any in the last month so when I discovered they had it on the menu I was in no doubt I would take it. Despite a spite language barrier the menu is in English and the laddies (waitress and chef) are smiling and lovely. The plate arrives with homemade bread, tomatoes, garlic, basil and a beautiful fresh ball of Burrata. Extra olive oil and a little dish of spicy sauce were also brought to the table. I was in heaven and savoured every mouthful. I am so please to find Bar Zulu and intend to return tomorrow for the same again!!

The best meal I had in Brazil. We got the vegetarian stew thing, and it was delicious! The dish was for 2 but it would have easily served 3 people.

Wow simply wow. I love the chill atmosphere, the service, the food and the passion that goes into bar Zulu. And guess what you actually find vegan options here 😁

Staff was friendly and prices are reasonable. The two meals we ordered were good but not excellent and we also had to wait for almost an hour.

We had a nice peaceful afternoon drink break:)! It’s located in a lovely historic neighborhood. Pina colada was awesome!

Great food and service, I thought we had to dress up to go there but it is entirely up to you. My husband and kids were in shorts and we were well served by Val and his colleagues. Always with a smile and ready to take any order.

Hands down the best restaurant in Salvador. Every time I visit Brazil I make it a point to stop by there every chance I get. Very friendly staff and the service is impeccable. And the food is without a doubt unmatched. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Good service, lovely food , enjoyed the dragon fruit gin and tonic, the antipasta platter, and the cucumber basil drink very much. Interesting to have the beet sorbet with the octopus carpacchio, liked it

This elegant restaurant, nestled high on a hill in a condominium complex in the "Cidade Baixa", serves amazing shellfish and fish. Following the rather small couvert, my friend and I ordered the scallops as an appetizer, consisting of three scallops cooked in a delicious sauce and served on the half-shell. For our main entrees, my friend ordered the prawn risotto, not a risotto in the usual sense because the rice was presented braised in small cubes, each about the size of a Tater-Tot. Nevertheless, he was pleased with this entree, which we shared, and which was noteworthy for the medium sized prawns and the accompanying asparagus. I ordered, and we also split, the seafood assortment, which included two half lobsters, several large prawns, octopus, squid, and salmon. All of the seafood items on that platter were superb, with a special call out to the salmon, lobster, and prawns. The restaurant has a nice and fairly reasonably priced wine list. We ordered a crisp Chilean chardonnay that served as a perfect accompaniment to our seafood platters. Mistura Contorno is not inexpensive, even by U.S. fine restaurant standards. We each spent R$ 270 (about US$ 85 at the February 2018 exchange rate). But the value of the meal, along with the excellent service of the garçons, was well worth the price. Addendum on 4 March 2019: I had such a fond memory of Mistura Contorno that I returned to this restaurant today with a different friend. And we were not disappointed! Besides the amazing views, this restaurant looking out over the Todos Os Santos bay has some fabulous seafood. We started with a tender lobster as an appetizer, followed by a pasta adorned with baby clams and mussels. As the main dish, we enjoyed a combination seafood medley, including shrimp, squid, octopus, lobster, scallops, and salmon. We capped the dinner with a tasty dessert with bananas flambeed in a caramel sauce topped by vanilla ice cream. Of course, we enjoyed the Brazilian national drink, a traditional caipirinha made with cachaça, as well as a refreshing glass of an Italian white wine. Just as I noted in my 2018 review, I highly recommend Restaurante Mistura Contorno.

Excellent service and excellent food! WOW we definitely will be back. The ceviche and rsotto de camaroa were outstanding!

This restaurant had amazing food and service! The view of the marina is perfect!

Absolutely incredible. Great wine selection, outstanding service, and the food. Oh the food. Will definitely come back.

Nice museum. They have beautiful jewelry in their exhibition.

Beautiful museum!

(Translated by Google) The Carlos and Margarida Costa Pinto Museum is a space of great historical and cultural importance in Salvador. Its collection portrays the history of a bourgeois family from Salvador, allowing us to better understand Bahian society at the time, its values, and identities. The artifacts on display perfectly fulfill the museum's mission: to inform, educate, and preserve memory. Highlights include the beautiful collection of balangandãs (the famous Creole jewelry), which impress with their cultural richness, and the ceramic pieces, both Western and Eastern, which were popular during the period and reveal the sophistication of cultural exchanges. It's a museum that surprises with its beauty and careful preservation of history, making it a space well worth a visit. (Original) O Museu Carlos e Margarida Costa Pinto é um espaço de grande importância histórica e cultural em Salvador. Seu acervo retrata a história de uma família da burguesia soteropolitana e, a partir disso, permite compreender melhor a sociedade baiana da época, seus valores e identidades. Os artefatos expostos cumprem perfeitamente a proposta do museólogo: informar, educar e preservar a memória. Entre os destaques, estão o belíssimo acervo de balangandãs (as famosas joias de crioulo), que impressionam pela riqueza cultural, e as peças de cerâmica, tanto ocidentais quanto orientais, que estavam em alta no período e revelam a sofisticação dos intercâmbios culturais. É um museu que surpreende pela beleza e pelo cuidado na preservação da história, sendo um espaço que vale muito a visita.

Great place to get a glimpse into life of an upper class couple from Salvador in the 19th/20th century. Open on Monday too! Entrance fee is 20 R$.

Beautiful spot with amazing views of the ocean and a charming lighthouse. Perfect place for photos and a relaxing walk by the sea

Such a beautiful place , especially during the sunset. One of the most beautiful beach I’ve seen in my life.

It's a splendid place with the sun set. The ocean is clean and the waves come warming the feet. The lighthouse stands to the sea and makes a wonderful plot to photographers. The area is a little risky in terms of safety, one should always be smart.

Without a shadow of a doubt it is a wonderful place,It has a wonderful sunset, I recommend it. The sad thing is the rough sea, but other than that it is exceptional.

For the cheap admission you get to visit the oldest lighthouse on the continent! There is a ton of history here with ship models and salvaged artifacts dating to the 17th century. A must visit for Salvador and be sure to climb up to the top for the views!

Very nice part of Salvador, good hotels and restaurants in the neighborhood

Very lovely place. In October less people then end of December of course 😬

Best brasserie of the area ! We visited it several times during our stay, for diner and just for drinks in March 2015. Great price and value. Several dishes are served for two persons. For example: A two person (500-600 gram in total) picanha plate costs 55 Reals! Delicious! Service is good. The place can be noisy in the evenings during the weekend, but otherwise very relaxed atmosphere.

Fantastic place.

Chill fun atmosphere. But they tried to hustle me over a bottle of water. How stupid. I ordered coconut water, she brought mineral water. I said I wanted coconut water and she left the mineral as if I wanted it. It sat there unopened and it was still on the check. So petty. Watch your bill here.

It's a really cool place opposite the beach with good food at a good price and many great natural juices if you don't wish to drink alcohol. Staff are really nice too. It's Bahia Brazil. It's great

The restaurant is huge and was rather full last night. But it seemed we were at the wrong place at the wrong time as we had to wait a long time for one of our drinks - suco goiaba - and with the food we had to ask for it 4 times and wait around 45 minutes before we got the meat - carne do sol and then another 10 minutes for all the things which was promised itch the meat. This way they will for sure not see us again.

Very good atmosphere. Tasty food. Fair prices.

Great price/quality ratio Delicius crab (Casqinha de siri) and shrimps Ótimo

very interesting exposition. The location is small, but it is worth visiting, also because the entry counts for Carybe museum as well. The service is very good and the surrounding area is super lively. Forte de Santa Maria is beautiful too and a good photo spot

There’s not much to see but the ticket’s at least inclusive of the Carybe museum too.

Beautiful spot but not much to see besides the view and a couple cannons. It’s free so if you’re walking by it’s worth a visit.

Nice sightseeing just near the beach. Loved the area and the vibe.

Historical place, entrance free. There is a nice beach next To THE place where can you swim.

Awesome views, great for sunset view, and a cultural walk.

Atmospheric fort with great views and featuring interesting exhibitions.

It's basically just one digital screen to look at the works of the artist in mention. The digital screens are a bit slow and almost all of them have defects in different functions. The staff are not great energy. Waste of time and money. You could just Google the works instead

The Fort itself is nothing special. Been recently refurbished and now has a small art exhibition (Carybé). Free to visit the building but not the art. View to the sea is great.

Wonderful visit to know more about this exceptional artist. The whole experience is interactive and well explained to you upon entrance. The store is small but contains originals and signed prints from the artist himself. Worth the visit.

Interesting topic of art. If you’re an artist or you love art you can visit here.

Desert feelings need 4x4 bumpy ride worth it if you like something different

A small interactive digital art gallery housed in a restored historical building, featuring the works of Carybé inspired by Bahian culture, particularly the iconography of African gods in Candomblé. The fortress offers scenic views of the bay and features historical cannons.

Safe, lots of guards and police around. Paid parking close to the nearby marina. Good view towards Itaparica Island and the other Santa Maria Fort. The museum is of carybe, with interactive media stuff. They have VR headset and a Kinect to let you control a puppet. Cool, but limited. Not in English!

It’s a very small museum — really just one main room with a small library and a tiny shop where you can buy artifacts. I honestly wish it were bigger, because the history and people it celebrates deserve a larger space. That said, it’s still worth the visit. Entry is just R$5, and the museum has been recently renovated. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of something bigger. One thing to note: there are no translations in English or Spanish, which can make it difficult for international visitors to fully appreciate the exhibits.

(Translated by Google) The Memorial das Baianas was inaugurated in 2009, with the aim of valuing the many Bahian women who live on the corners of our city.

(Translated by Google) I think it greatly diminishes the cultural value of the Bahian women. This emblematic figure of Salvador deserves much more. It is a beautiful space but it lacks more. The best thing was the Bahian woman who welcomed us, I laughed with her. My mother loved it. (Original) Acho que diminui muito o valor cultural das baianas. Essa figura tão emblemática de Salvador merece muito mais. É um espaço bonito mas carece de mais. O melhor foi a baiana que recepciona, eu ri com ela. Minha mãe adorou.

(Translated by Google) Memorial das Baianas do Acarajé is one of the most important historical and cultural sites in Salvador. It is located in the Historic Center of Salvador, Bahia, in Praça da Sé.

(Translated by Google) This is a great opportunity to learn more about the history of Baianas.

There is a library in the basement that is also worth visiting. (Original) Ótima oportunidade para conhecer mais sobre a histórias da Baianas. Além do acervo com roupas e objetos, ainda podemos contar com as pessoas que trabalham lá e ficam à disposição para tirar dúvidas. No subsolo tem um biblioteca que vale a pena visitar também.

(Translated by Google) The foundation does some very interesting work for the community.

(Translated by Google) I went to the foundation without prior appointment and was very well received. I had a guided tour of Pierre Verger's house. Everything was very organized and well laid out.

The venue for tonight's show (Jan 30th, 2022, concert by Guigga e Tarcisio) was amazing, a covered terrace in a beautiful building where the SESI theater is located. While the show was brilliant, it was clearly undermined by careless staff, namely the waiters, who were constantly talking loud both when serving the tables and when stationed very near the stage. The public could hear the waiters and bar tenders louder than the singer. Too bad staff disregard for the beatiful show tarnished the magical evening.

Best show in town! Alexandre Leão has a record of 16 year straight season at Varanda do Sesi with a well deserved success. Don't miss it if you are in Salvador. I strongly recommend!!!

Great place for life music and fun times with Friends

Omg the food in this place is unreal! We tried the “coxinha de filé mignon” 😋, the banana da terra pure with fume pork and the carne de sol, everything was super tasty, even the little sauces they brought as a side. 10/10!

Great place. U should go!

Went to Velho Espanha Bar e Cultura in Salvador with two friends we all had drinks, and they had full meals. I was sick with gastroenteritis and asked kindly for just a piece of bread. They brought it… and then charged me the full price of a pulled meat sandwich I never ordered or received. Sorry, but that’s just not right. They could’ve charged a extra or been fair but instead, they took advantage of someone who was visibly unwell. For a place that presents itself as progressive and inclusive, this was really disappointing.

(Translated by Google) There are always great events and shows, but the structure and comfort are lacking. The air conditioning can't handle maximum occupancy and is often broken.

(Translated by Google) Last night, at Âncora do Marujo, I remembered that before homonormative gaypitalism, there were bars with feathers, sweat, and kitsch. The show continued from 11:30. A space where multiracial and multigenerational cultures coexist without etiquette; where the dance floor isn't a catwalk, but rather a common ground for diverse bodies. I had a great time… and without a cover to make history. I went alone and had a blast. Too bad I also came back alone.

Un espacio donde lo multirracial y lo multigeneracional conviven sin manual de etiqueta; donde la pista no es pasarela, sino territorio común para cuerpos diversos. Me la pasé muy bien… y sin cover para entrar en la historia. Fui solo y me divertí como pocos. Lástima que también regresé solo.

The hotel is beautiful and spotless. The reception from day 1 was so special. Personally greeted on arrival and departure by the owners - they care and the staff are brilliant. The food was extremely tasty, and breakfast was plentiful. Huge shout out to Rodriguo who gave us a full run through of the local area, advised us on where to buy tickets for a local dance show, and took us to the venue to purchase them. (definitely worth going to see), and sorted our taxi for our return to the airport. Thanks to all the staff and the owners for making this leg of our honeymoon so special. One tip - when the hotel offers to organise the airport transport for you - take them up on the offer- it is worth the little extra you pay not to need to trek your suitcases up the very steep hill!!

This boutique hotel has the perfect location at the center of Pelourinho and beatiful views to the bay. The rooms are nice and large. The staff is very friendly. The included breakfast has different options including tasty local cakes.

We stayed here twice because it’s extra comfortable and peaceful in the center of all the action. You step right out into the most picturesque part of Pelourinho with ice cream, food, souvenirs within feet of the door. The best part of this place is the people who work here. So nice, helpful, friendly. We loved staying here.

Great hotel, Lovely interior and rooms and superfriendly and helpful personnel.

This is a cozy and beautiful hotel with well designed decoration. The sea view room with king size bed is amazing, I think it’s the biggest bed that I have even experienced in Brazil 😂 breakfast is good, fresh and tasty, and don’t forget to enjoy the sunset on the rooftop. I will definitely come back for the next visit 🤓

Fabulous place and a great start to our honeymoon. The property is very attractive, filled with artistic touches and beautiful spaces. The room was extremely comfortable and the breakfast and dinner there were both excellent. They arranged our collection and transfer from the airport and it all worked perfectly. Right in the heart of the historic centre with great sites and restaurant options all around. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure to stay at this hidden gem for 2 nights. We were pleasantly surprised on how comfortable and warm it felt from the minute we walked in. The hotel is super clean, comfortable and it has impeccable service. They offer an incredible and extensive breakfast. The restaurants offers authentic regional food as well as international favorites, the food is simply delicious. The flavors are well balanced and flavorful. The bar and pool overlooks the bay and it feels amazing to have skit outside with a nice bottle of wine or cocktail and enjoy the view and atmosphere. We were truly enchanted by the coziness of the place and how welcome we felt by the owners and staff. I recommend this place wholeheartedly and we’ll definitely be staying here again next time we visit the Pelourinho.
