Free Tour - Museums of Salvador de Bahia

To begin our tour of the most traditional museums in the historic center, we will find ourselves in the iconic "Praça da Sé" where the "Cruz Caída" monument is located in homage to the demolition of the Old Cathedral Basilica of Salvador.

After walking for a few minutes we will arrive at our first stop: the "Casa do Carnaval da Bahia" museum. In this cultural space opened in 2018 in the heart of the Pelourinho district, we will have a vast amount of material that will allow us to get to know in depth the history of the largest carnival in the world according to the Guinness Book. During our visit, in a fun and interactive way, we will find a library, audio-visual projections, models, typical carnival clothes and musical instruments donated by the main artists of this great festival.

Later we will continue to the next destination via the Gonçalves Inclined Plan, a public transport system originating in the 17th century that connects the Pelourinho neighborhood in the Upper City with the Comércio neighborhood in the Lower City. After a short walk through the neighborhood, we will reach our second stop: the "Cidade da Música da Bahia" museum.

Finally we will visit the museum "Casa das Histórias de Salvador"
