About this tour

The most complete way to see Salvador on your first day. We leave the seafront for Farol da Barra, where the Bay of All Saints meets the Atlantic, continue to Bonfim Church — with time to tie your ribbon — and go down to the Lower City for the Mercado Modelo.

From the market we ride the Lacerda Elevator up to the Upper City and finish with a guided walk through Pelourinho: colonial mansions, the gold-covered São Francisco Church and music on every hillside street.

Highlights

  • Farol da Barra, the Americas' oldest lighthouse
  • Ribbons on the Bonfim Church railings
  • A ride on the Lacerda Elevator
  • Guided walk through Pelourinho, a UNESCO site
