Overview
Pelourinho is Salvador's historic district and a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture. Pastel colonial buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries line its hilly cobblestone streets, packed with churches, museums, and live music venues. The Tuesday-night Olodum drum parade is a highlight that channels the dynamic energy of Afro-Brazilian culture. It's also famous as the location where Michael Jackson filmed his 'They Don't Care About Us' music video.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours (individual venues have their own hours).
Travel Tips
Don't miss the Tuesday-evening Olodum performance and the live music on weekend evenings. Visit during the day and avoid wandering alone late at night.
