Not much to say, but always have to be aware. Salvador is a beautiful city, but m, as all capitals around the world, there are things to be worried about. Safety first! Be careful with jewelry and valuable objects when on the street.
Posted: August 11, 2025Salvador its a safe city, but you need to stay out of favelas. Thats a people neighborhood not a turist point. The people dont speak english but they will do everything to help you. Think like the european pickpocket, soo dont go outside like everything its okay

Security in Salvador is not the best, you need to be careful especially at popular parties. If you are a woman, do not go to parties alone, always be in a group or accompanied by someone. Walking on the streets is not dangerous, but you need to be careful with your belongings, avoid leaving your cell phone and wallet in pockets or easily accessible.
