Understand
The state capital of Bahia is the third city by the number of its population, with 2,890,000 inhabitants. Since the renovation of its historic center (Le Pelourinho), declared a World Heritage Site in 1985 by UNESCO, Salvador has become a must-see place for any tourist wishing to visit Brazil, transforming this neighborhood deemed infamous in the 1980s into a place totally geared towards tourism. A remarkable festivity is the Carnival, which attracts 950,000 tourists each year, in 7 days of celebrations.
