Founded in 1549, Salvador is a city rich in history, culture, and unforgettable stories. As Brazil’s first capital and the land of Caramuru and Paraguaçu, every corner reveals traces of its fascinating past. This tour invites you to explore the most important historical landmarks of ancient São Salvador, including the iconic Farol da Barra and the famous Pelourinho, one of the most significant Portuguese colonial urban complexes in the world, beautifully set across the city’s high relief.
As you walk through colorful streets, colonial buildings, and historic squares, you’ll experience the vibrant atmosphere that makes Salvador so unique. The tour offers plenty of opportunities for photography, allowing you to capture the city’s charm and architectural beauty. Please note that flash photography is not permitted inside churches. For comfort, we recommend wearing light clothing and flat, comfortable shoes suitable for walking on Pelourinho’s cobblestone streets. Church entrance fees are not included.

Bahia Palace is beautiful in terms of architecture and history, with lovely courtyards and detailed decorations. It’s nice to walk through and imagine how life once was inside the palace. However, the visit felt a bit disappointing. Many areas are empty, and there isn’t much information provided to explain the history or significance of the rooms. It also gets very crowded, which makes it hard to enjoy the details. The entrace fees are so expensive for auch place as well.

What a special place. Each room you enter is different and wows you with zellige tilework and stunning carved ceilings. Spent an hour or so meandering through the palace and its courtyards, with lots of photo opportunities. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular with visitors. Fantastic to see such a well restored piece of architecture.

While the architecture is pretty, the overall experience wasn’t very engaging. The queues were long and the crowds made it hard to enjoy, and much of what you see feels fairly average compared to the hype. Worth a quick look if you’re nearby, but not the most entertaining stop.
Monika
A beautiful place to visit. A vast, intricately designed palace with 160 rooms, courtyards, and over 3 hectares of gardens. Beautiful gardens, courtyard, halls, and intricately decorated doors, ceilings, and facades. It's worth a visit, preferably first thing in the morning, when there aren't many tours.

The palace is stunning and full of beautiful details, but it was quite crowded and parts of it were under renovation during my visit. Tickets were purchased at the entrance and cash payment was the only option. Still, it’s definitely worth seeing for the architecture and atmosphere.
