Disliked: outside of the old town and being near a beach, not much else to offer. also did not like having to look over my shoulder every 30 seconds.

Customer Travel Tip: Make sure you visit on a Tuesday night when there is plenty of free live music on the streets and samba parties.
Liked: The African culture everywhere you turn. The many festivities on every night - free music and entertainment. The town is so photographic and pretty. Beautiful beaches only a walk or bus ride away - special mention to the beach within the museum grounds (closed on Mondays though!).
Disliked: Probably having to be extra careful with my camera and bag. There are police on most corners and streets though, which makes you feel a little more at ease. But be weary and don't walk down deserted streets or areas! Sundays and Mondays are pretty quiet and most things are closed, but a good time to chill from the party weekend.

Customer Travel Tip: Everyone should do Salvador carnaval once in their life! There's nothing like it for sounds, dancing, vitality and fun!
Liked: Salvador is unique, has an amazing atmosphere during carnaval and is a colourful, vibrant and stunning place to party! The architecture is beautiful in Pelourinho and the week I spent here was great!!
Disliked: The area is poor and with that comes social problems - I didn't feel unsafe or threatened and the locals I met were generally lovely, warm and friendly but you do see some sad sights along the way.

Customer Travel Tip: I wouldn't reccomend this place at all, I will never return.
Liked: Carnival was a good time and some of Historic areas are nice for sightseeing
Disliked: Its all smells awful like the inside of a portable toilet and the crime is some of the worst I have ever seen. One night I walked out of my Hostel and a 10 year kid was sitting there smoking crack. The beggers are really aggressive, they touch you and harass you and threaten you if you don't give them money which is always for drugs
