Explore Cape Verde's beauty and history on our Praia & Cidade Velha Guided Tour. You'll visit Cape Verde's capital as well as its oldest city, which is now a World Heritage Site.
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Praia and set off on our tour of Cape Verde's capital.
Our first stop will be at the Doña María Pía Lighthouse, which is located on Santiago Island's southernmost tip. From the base of the lighthouse, we'll be able to see incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean. We'll then head to the Plateau neighbourhood and take a walking tour around Praia's historic centre. We'll stroll around the Alexandre Albuquerque Square, where we'll see find the Presidential Palace, the Church of Our Lady of Grace and the Jaime Mota Barracks.
Next to the square we'll also find the Praia Municipal Market, which has abundant fruit and vegetable stalls. We'll then visit the Sucupira Market, which is dedicated to local handicrafts. After the markets, we'll drive to Cidade Velha: an ancient Portuguese settlement located on Santiago Island's breathtaking southern coast.
The ruins of Cidade Velha have been declared a World Heritage Site, and are also one of the Seven Wonders of Portuguese Origin in the World. You'll soon see that they're definitely worthy of the titles as we visit the remains of the ancient cathedral and the Fuerte Real de São Filipe.
We'll then head to the Church of Our Lady of Rosário, the convent of São Francisco and the Pelourinho, which was the former slave market square.
At the end of the tour, we'll return to your hotel in Praia, where we'll arrive after 4 hours of fun!
