Porto Seguro
Porto Seguro, on the southern Bahia coast, is where Portuguese navigators under Pedro Álvares Cabral made their first landing in Brazil in 1500, giving the city a foundational place in the country's history. The original village, founded in 1535 and among the oldest in Brazil, is almost entirely heritage-listed, with building heights restricted to preserve its character. The waterfront city has a walkable centre with cafés and restaurants, Atlantic forest reserves, and beaches along the coast.
