Did you know? Salvador

Salvador was Brazil's first capital (1549–1763) and remains one of the oldest European settlements in the Americas.

The city's Afro-Brazilian population and culture—rooted in the slave trade and quilombo communities—shaped Brazil's music, religion (Candomblé), and cuisine more than anywhere else in the country.

Salvador's historic Pelourinho district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring over 350 restored colonial buildings painted in jewel tones.

The city sits on the Bay of All Saints (Baía de Todos os Santos), the largest bay in Brazil, dotted with over 38 islands.

Salvador is the birthplace of capoeira and samba de roda, and hosts the world's largest Carnival celebration outside Rio de Janeiro, drawing nearly 2 million people annually.

The city's main beach neighbourhoods—Barra, Ondina, and Farol—are separated by dramatic rocky headlands, making each distinct in character and crowd.
