🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Santo Antônio Além do Carmo (Plano inclinado do Carmo) → Comércio (lower city) — then ferry to Itaparica or bus
💡 Not for airport use, but essential for local trips to the lower city markets. From the pousada, walk 3 mins down the hill to the funicular — it drops you at Modelo Market. The Elevador Lacerda nearby is a quicker option (same cost).
SSA Airport (stop outside arrivals) → Terminal da Lapa (then walk 15 mins or taxi to Villa Carmo)
💡 Buy a reloadable Salvador card (Cartão Integração) from the driver — it lets you pay for both this bus and the local buses. At Lapa, do not walk alone at night; take a short taxi (R$ 12) to the pousada.
Aeroporto Station (connected to airport) → Lapa Station (then transfer to bus or taxi)
💡 Works well for day arrivals — the station is right below the airport. At Lapa, catch the 'Pelourinho' bus to the Carmo stairs. Avoid this after dark as Lapa square can feel sketchy.
Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (SSA) → Pousada Villa Carmo, Santo Antônio Além do Carmo
💡 Prepay at the official taxi booth in arrivals to avoid haggling. The fare includes the shuttle over the bay — drivers take the ferry to Itaparica if you're staying on the island, but for the Pelourinho area, they go via the mainland bridge.

Top Attractions in Salvador
💡 Haggle firmly but politely for half the initial price; the best deals are on leather and lace, not tourist trinkets.
💡 Go early on Sunday mornings for the quieter streets and impromptu drumming circles at Terreiro de Jesus.
💡 Free on Tuesdays; otherwise 10 reais. The on-site restaurant is overpriced, but the picnic benches outside are perfect for lunch.
💡 Bring your own towel and cold drinks—beach-chair rentals are steep. Swim near the lifeguard posts only.
💡 The ride costs about 15 centavos, but skip the queue by using the free staircase next to it if you're fit.
