Top-Rated Salvador Shore Excursions

The cruise terminal is in the Lower City, a short walk from the Mercado Modelo and the Lacerda Elevator that lifts visitors to the Pelourinho, the colorful colonial quarter on the bluff above. Guided walks of the churches and squares are the classic choice, with beach trips along the coast for those who have seen the old town before.
