About this place
In April, Brazil's anniversary is celebrated in Porto Seguro's Historic Town. The festivities feature the city's traditional orchestras. On the 22nd there is an official celebration with authorities, ministers, members of Congress and even the president, when Porto becomes the country's capital for a day. This place is part of Rede Bem Bahia’s Regional Guide and helps visitors understand the natural, historical, cultural and scenic diversity of the Costa do Descobrimento. The experience varies with the time of day, tide, weather, calendar and means of access. Plan your visit considering travel, time on site and current rules, and confirm operational information before setting out.
