The local experience
In the Cidade Alta, the historic ensemble brings together churches, colonial houses and the Marco do Descobrimento. The walk showcases preserved architecture and allows you to observe the relationship between the city's upper part and the coastline.
Discover Centro Histórico de Porto Seguro
Passarela da Cultura brings together colorful houses, shops, bars and restaurants in downtown Porto Seguro. It's a place to walk and experience the urban bustle, especially at the end of the day.
Quadrado de Trancoso is a grassy square surrounded by colorful houses, with the church serving as the landmark of the ensemble. The space is one of the district's main attractions and combines architecture, local life and scenery.
Praia dos Coqueiros is in Trancoso and features a stretch of sand, coconut trees and support facilities along the seafront. It can be combined with the Quadrado in a day focused on that district of Porto Seguro.
Praia do Mucugê is in Arraial d’Ajuda, a district of Porto Seguro, featuring sand, reefs and support facilities nearby. It allows you to concentrate a day in the Arraial area rather than combining beaches from different districts in the same period.
