Guided Walking Tour Pelourinho

Highlights / General details

The Pelourinho is situated in the historical center of Salvador. Declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1985, it is an eminent example of colonial history and symbol of the black movement in Bahia. The Pelourinho offers visitors a number of churches, museums, local artists' studios, galleries, shops and restaurants. Pelourinho's main tourist attractions include the famous writer Jorge Amado's House, the cultural group Olodum, São Francisco Church and the Cathedral Basílica as well as the traditional Cravinho Bar (where you might want to go for an optional caipirinha - not included).

Stop to shop and visit optionally the Pierre Verger gallery or the studio of Goya Lopes (a Bahian textile designer who seeks inspiration in the themes of African-Brazilian musicality in Bahia). Our next stop is Elevador Lacerda, built in 1873 and connecting nowadays the Upper City and the Lower City as an important means of transport both for locals and tourists. From there you can enjoy the panoramic view of the All Saints Bay and Mercado Modelo and relax after this cultural walking tour.
