Praia

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde and is located on the rich island of Santiago. Cape Verde's economic and political capital, like many others, is in this city. The town is not as tourist-oriented as many other Cape Verde locations, but it still has much to see and do.

The historic colonial buildings in the city's old center are fantastic for touring in the sun and provide some beautiful photo possibilities. Churches, a presidential residence, and the legislative building are all visible. In addition to the exploration and culture, there are magnificent sandy beaches nearby, however, it should be reminded that swimming is not recommended at the adjacent Praia de Gamboa.

Historical relics may be found in every area of Cabo Verde's social and economic center. Sala-Museo Amicar Cabral, a museum on the history of West African revolutions and independence, an ethnographic museum, and an archaeology museum are all located in Praia, Cabo Verde's city.
