Praia
Cape Verde's Santiago island has everything for an unforgettable holiday: sun, sea, history, culture and fun.
The island boasts spectacular scenery with mountains, green valleys and lush banana plantations. The largest city on the island, Praia, is home to about half of Cape Verde's population. Here you will find a blend of African and Portuguese culture, breathtaking beaches and vibrant nightlife.
Dive into ancient history
Cape Verde residents have nicknamed the old city of Praia the ‘Plateau'. The city centre lies at a much higher elevation than the rest of the city. Colourful buildings, bustling cafés and lively markets are the perfect place to soak up Cape Verde's culture. Make sure you also visit Cidade Velha, the old capital of Cape Verde. Colonial buildings, interesting museums and the Pelourinho pillory offer a glimpse into the port's unique past.
