The center is cute for walking quietly, shopping, taking pictures, etc. The churches are beautiful, the house where the famous Michael Jackson video was filmed became mythical; although it could be taken care of a little better.
the historical center of salvador da bahia is very interesting, educational and colorful , multi cultural and even safer than expected.
