Review & FAQ:
Salvador was founded during the 16th century by Portuguese explorers, and the influence of these early Portuguese settlers is very evident today in the architecture of the city. Located on the coast in the northeastern region of Brazil, Salvador is a city where the local culture has been heavily influenced by Portuguese and African cultures, a blend which can be seen in the religion, food, and music of its people. There are over 300 churches in Salvador, like the grandiose Sao Francisco, which was built during the 18th century, and there are many beaches for visitors to enjoy, like Porto da Barra and Rio Vermelho, which also is home to a fun nightlife and vibrant music scene.
