Salvador is a beautiful place to visit and I recommend this to those coming to Brazil to take a trip to this beautiful city.

Miriam

Very culturally rich with a unique history relating to Portuguese colonisation, Amero-Indians and afro brazilians. Rich architecture designed by freemasons and shipped brick by brick from portugal. Best carnival of country with cheap seafood.

Verified traveller

A lot less urban city than say Rio, but has a lot of culture and lively architecture. Not a lot of people speak English here
