SALVADOR\u00a0CRUISE<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Two worlds collide: Africa and Brazil<\/span><\/h4>\n
High above the enormous bay of Todos os Santos (All Saints), where your MSC\u00a0cruise ship\u00a0awaits your return,\u00a0Salvador de Bahia<\/strong>\u00a0has an electric feel from the moment you arrive.<\/span>
\nThis is the great cultural and historical centre of Brazil, where Afro-Brazilian heritage is strongest and where\u00a0capoeira<\/strong>,\u00a0candombl\u00e9<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0samba de roda<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0were created.<\/span>
\nMSC\u00a0South America cruises\u00a0offer excursions to the\u00a0centro hist\u00f3rico<\/em>\u00a0of this magical place, a melange of narrow cobbled streets, peeling purple walls, grand Baroque churches, kids kicking footballs, rastas, locals sipping bottled beer on plastic chairs, the wafting aroma of herbs and the almost constant beating of drums, especially as the sun sets. Beyond the old town Salvador is a vast, sprawling city, with a vibrant beach life, modern skyscrapers and plenty of favelas.<\/span>
\nThe\u00a0centro hist\u00f3rico<\/em>\u00a0is the traditional heart of\u00a0Salvador<\/strong>; it\u2019s built around the craggy, 70m-high bluff that dominates the eastern side of the bay, and is split into upper and lower sections.\u00a0Cidade Alta<\/strong>\u00a0(or simply \u201cCentro\u201d) is strung along its top, linked to the less interesting\u00a0Cidade<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>

Baixa (the old commercial centre, aka \u201cCom\u00e9rcio\u201d) by\u00a0precipitous streets<\/strong>\u00a0and the towering\u00a0Art Deco<\/strong>\u00a0lift-shaft of the\u00a0Elevador Lacerda<\/strong>. Cidade Alta is the cultural centre of the city, and the section known as the\u00a0Pelourinho<\/strong>\u00a0is the groovy old district with colourful and hilly winding streets, its most vibrant and beguiling neighbourhood.<\/span>
\nThe best spot to begin a walking tour of the city is at the\u00a0Pra\u00e7a Municipal<\/strong>, the square dominated by the impressive\u00a0Pal\u00e1cio do Rio Branco<\/strong>, the old governor\u2019s palace which was in use until 1979. The fine interior is a blend of Rococo plasterwork, polished wooden floors and painted walls and ceilings.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
