Salvador is a port city on the Atlantic coast in northeastern Brazil.
The historic center is known for its colorful buildings and cobblestone streets.
Along the bay area, you'll find many beautiful beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The old town in particular is well worth a visit for its unique atmosphere.
That said, to be honest, I did get the impression that safety might be a concern.
Please be extra cautious, especially when going out at night.
The coastal area of Salvador offers beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The shoreline stretches far into the distance, showing different faces depending on where you look.
Since I didn’t have much time during my stay, I was only able to see a small part of the long coastline.
If you have more time, I recommend exploring various parts of Salvador’s shoreline—it’s well worth it.
This area is home to many of Salvador’s main attractions.
The entire town is decorated in vibrant colors, with cobblestone streets throughout.
Many famous cities in South America feature colorful streets, but
Salvador stands out with its especially vivid tones and a surprising sense of harmony—
I felt the cityscape was impressively well-composed.
It’s an incredibly photogenic place.
When you visit, you’ll almost certainly find yourself reaching for your camera.
Located in the central square of Salvador’s historic district, this church stands out with its solemn atmosphere amid the colorful surroundings.
Known as the “Golden Church,” it features an interior richly decorated with gold leaf.
It’s considered one of the most lavish churches in South America, so be sure to visit if you come to Salvador.
It seemed to be a well-known restaurant located in the historic district.
I had a local Salvadoran dish called moqueca (apologies if I got the name wrong!).
The atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious!
If you visit, I recommend trying a variety of other dishes as well.
