The museum city of Salvador is the capital of Bahia state. it is considered the most "African" city of Brazil and is one of the most densely populated cities in the country. Founded in 1549, Salvador was the capital of Brazil until the middle of the 18th century. Currently, its main treasure is the preserved monuments of colonial times. Salvador is an invaluable well of historical sites.

Cultural symbols of the city include the martial art of "Capoeira ". It is believed that Salvador is one of the cities where it originated. Capoeira is a cross between classical martial arts and Brazilian dances. Performances of capoeira masters are extremely popular among visitors to the city. It is believed that capoeira is much more popular than football in Salvador. Residents of other Brazilian cities can hardly boast such a passion for a particular sport. Walking through the city streets, attentive tourists notice that capoeira schools are located literally at every step.

The city lies on the slope of the picturesque Bay of All Saints. Conventionally, the area of the modern city is divided into two parts - the Upper and Lower, connected by Lacerda Elevator ( Elevador Lacerda ). Both areas are equally interesting for travelers.
