GETTING AROUND
Most of the attractions in Salvador are
concentrated in Cidade Alta (Upper City),
linked to the Cidade Baixa (Lower City) by
a furnicular railway and the Carlos Lacerda
elevator. The historic neighborhood of Pelourinho
is located downtown, on top of a bluff over-
looking the harbor. The main sights outside
Pelourinho are within walking distance of the
bustling waterfront. Bus services easily connect
to every part of the city. Travelers coming from
the south can take BR-101 around the Baía de
Todos os Santos and connect to the BR-324.
Those arriving from the north can follow the
BR-009, called the Linha Verde.
