Salvador Surprised Me with Its Beauty!

Some information about Salvador 1️⃣ Accommodation: Stay in the Barra district — right by the sea, beautiful, relatively safe, and packed with restaurants. 2️⃣ Historic Center: Explore Largo do Pelourinho and R. Alfredo De Brito — both streets feature stunning architecture. Then walk to Elevador Lacerda, take the elevator up for panoramic ocean views. 3️⃣ Safety Note: The historic area can be chaotic — avoid staying there (daytime visits are fine). If approached by locals offering to paint your hand, politely decline — they may demand payment afterward. 4️⃣ Sunset Spots: Watch the sunset near Museu Náutico da Bahia in Barra (breathtaking!). Morro do Cristo is another gorgeous viewpoint. 5️⃣ Local Food: Try Moqueca — a regional specialty cooked in coconut milk. Typically made with fish, but I tried the shrimp version (delicious with Southeast Asian vibes!). 6️⃣ Airport Transport: The airport is far from Barra — taxis are expensive. Take Bus 1001 instead (only 5.6 BRL one-way). Note: Google Maps may show incorrect bus stop locations in Barra — ask locals for directions! #Salvador #BrazilTravel #BarraDistrict #TravelTips#sunset#Museu Náutico da Bahia
