Praia, Cape Verde cruise vacations

View Cruise

Spend time exploring the elegant Plateau quarter, the city's atmospheric heart, where colonial-era buildings and leafy squares offer a glimpse into Praia's past. Browse local produce and handicrafts at Sucupira Market, visit the striking Presidential Palace, or take in sweeping Atlantic views from the city's clifftop promenades.  

 

Just beyond the capital, Cidade Velha offers a different perspective on Cape Verde. Wander its cobbled lanes and historic churches, discover the imposing Forte Real de São Filipe, and uncover the stories that shaped these islands over centuries of seafaring history. It's a rewarding way to experience another side of the country, where the past feels ever-present against a backdrop of dramatic coastal scenery.
