Here you will find the original discovery marker, first church, lighthouse and preserved homes of the Portuguese settlers on top of a plateau overlooking the ocean. Often overlooked by those who are more interested in the beaches and clubs of Porto Seguro, here you will find the birthplace of a country. Unlike some historic sites, the Cidade Historica does not come across as “touristy”, people still live in the historic houses and work in the museum and few small gift shops there. There also is a floriculture area nearby with several ancient trees and fine examples of mature tropical plants that are native to the area. The Cidade Historica is a short ride by the public bus from Residencial das Araras. Guide service and English translation are offered by the Residencial das Araras staff!

The Passarela do Alcool Porto Seguro

The Passarela de Alcool is located in the city center of Porto Seguro. The Passarela, as called by the locals, literally means the "walkway of alcohol". It is so named, because of an area of little barraca’s or tent bars selling various concoctions of cocktails and mixed drinks, most made with a mixture of tropical fruits, vodka and sweetened condensed milk. In general, these drinks are deceptively sweet in taste, but strong in effect! The remainder of the Passarela de Alcool consists of a street fair of souvenir stands, crafts, art displays and food vendors. It is an interesting experience, especially after a few drinks or a meal at one of the area's fine restaurants. Open every night from 6pm until 11:30pm, the Passarela de Alcool is a short ride on the public bus from Residencial das Araras.
