Salvador is a hub of activity and well known for having outrageously exciting parties, particularly during Carnaval. But don’t overlook Salvador’s favorite bohemian neighborhood of Rio Vermelho. It’s the perfect place to spend a day seeing another side of the city. Here are our top spots to check out in this trendy neighborhood.

Evening

Enjoy a pre-dinner toast at Blue Praia Bar, where caipirinhas with fresh fruit or a simple chilled coconut water awaits. This beach front bar is perfect for relaxing and taking in the view, before a night of partying. After drinks, it’s off to dinner. Dining options abound in Rio Vermelho, but for some true Bahia food, head to Dona Mariquita, located down a small street not far from Larqo Marquita. The cozy, charming place has a wide selection of food and is well known for its seafood plates.
