Overview

This half-day bus and walking tour in Salvador da Bahia lasts about four to five hours. It begins with hotel pickup and a drive to Forte Santo Antônio da Barra, built in 1536. Visitors can stop for photos and optional entry at Farol da Barra, the lighthouse that has been operating since 1698. The route continues by bus along Corredor da Vitória, Largo do Campo Grande, and Avenida 7 de Setembro before starting a walking tour in the Pelourinho district. The walking part includes a stop at the Municipal Square for views over downtown Salvador, including the Lacerda Elevator, the port, and the Model Market. The tour then visits Praça da Sé with the ruins of Brazil’s first basilica and the Archiepiscopal Palace. Next is Largo do Pelourinho, where the Church of Rosario dos Negros and the Casa de Jorge Amado Foundation are located. The tour ends at the Church and Convent of San Francisco, a notable example of Brazilian Baroque architecture, where visitors may pay an optional entrance fee. Additional photo stops are made at Monumento da Cruz Caida, Praça Terreiro de Jesus, and the Pelourinho area. Panoramic views of the Museu de Arte da Bahia and the Carlos Costa Pinto Museum are included from the bus. The tour includes round-trip transfers and a bilingual guide but excludes entrance fees to optional sites and meals or drinks.
