On a rainy day in Salvador, a few covered options keep the plan flexible without turning the day into a race across the city.

  • Museu Afro-Brasileiro, MUNCAB or Casa do Benin.
  • Casa do Carnaval or Cidade da Música da Bahia.
  • The museum cluster around Graça and Corredor da Vitória.
  • Mercado Modelo, then a long lunch with a bay view.
  • Casa do Rio Vermelho, followed by dinner in the same neighbourhood.
