6/46.- Salvador da Bahia, Praça da Se

Safety is a big issue in Salvador. Many guides talk about violent crimes in Salvador. This scares many visitors, who miss one of the most beautiful cities in Brazil. In my opinion this is a big mistake.

There is some unsafety in the city of Salvador, but if you follow a few basic rules, you should be safe. One of the important things to do is to try not to look like a foreign tourist, and the second is not to look richer than the locals. The clothes will play a major role here. Old T-shirts and Bermudas are perfect for Salvador.
