          Praia

          Adventure
          Beach
          Romance
          Twenty degrees in the water — all year. The island has a diverse landscape, from mountains to tropical greens. But you’ll want to be in the sea most of the time. So book a flight to Praia and...

          Enjoy the sun
          Praia means “beach” (literally). Quebra Canela, Mar, Gamboa, Negra... you only have to pick one (or all!). Some have white sand, others black sand, but each is a paradise, with unbelievable fauna and flora. The Tarrafal beach, on the north, is very popular among surfers and water sports fans.

          Feel the city’s pulse
          As a city, Praia has modernized to become a complete cultural program. Besides a tour on the Plateau, historical district, there are countless bars and restaurants to enjoy the typical flavors and listen to the warm sounds of the cape verdean soul. Another must do is the Central Market, where you can find the traditional cloths and handicrafts.
