The old city Cidade Velha is not far from Praia. It is about 10 - 15 KM. I arranged a tour and transportation with a tour guide to visit the old city and other places and the price was reasonable. My tour started from touring the fortress built by the colony on top of the hill. Before visiting the inside part of the fortress, you pay about $5 as entrance and watch a video about the fortress and the city. Then, you enter inside and see where the slaves where imprisoned and the soldier's quarter. Also, you see various canons that were kept to defend any enemies. After this visit, you go down to the city and see old church that is ruined. Finally, you will visit old houses that are intact and still in use and in the center of the city, various handicraft local made souvenirs are available if you want to buy some. In general, one must visit the old city if you come to Praia and you will get adequate information about the history of Cabo Verde.

I absolutely love when you get to discover a place that’s so alive yet so few people know about it… If you’re in Praia for just a couple of days stay right on July 5, that’s the name of the pedestrian street!… And you can walk along to have your choice of local Cape Verde food and drinks at And outdoor café… We day and made friends from Italy and Portugal and had a lovely time! Our cute little boutique hotel was just a block away end it was marvelous…
