As the capital of Cape Verde, Praia is known for its lively music scene, bustling markets, beautiful beaches, and a charming blend of African, Portuguese, and Brazilian influences. The city is located on the southern coast of Santiago Island and is home to the country's largest airport, Nelson Mandela International Airport.

Neighborhoods and Attractions

Praia is divided into several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own unique ambiance. The city's historic center, Plateau, boasts colonial architecture and major attractions such as the Presidential Palace and Alexandre Albuquerque Square. From here, you can take a short drive to the vibrant markets of Sucupira and Estrela, or head to the scenic neighborhood of Prainha, known for its beautiful beach and art galleries.

Exploring with a Rental Car

Choosing the right rental car will enhance your holiday experience. For city driving and short trips, a compact car is ideal. Renting a 4x4 is a good idea if you're planning to explore the mountainous interior or drive on unpaved roads. Remember, always consider the number of passengers, amount of luggage, and driving conditions when choosing your rental car.

Driving Tips

  • Driving side: In Praia, people drive on the right-hand side of the road.
  • Speed limits: Speed limits vary between 50 km/h in urban areas and up to 80 km/h on national roads.
  • Parking: Street parking is common in Praia but pay attention to any parking restrictions.

Climate and Currency

Praia boasts a warm tropical climate, with little temperature variation throughout the year. The Cape Verdean escudo (CVE) is the local currency, but Euros are widely accepted at most businesses and ATMs. Credit cards are generally accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger stores.

City and People

Cape Verdeans are known for their 'morabeza' - a warm, friendly spirit that welcomes visitors. While Portuguese is the official language, Cape Verdean Creole (Crioulo) is widely spoken. Many locals also speak English, especially in tourist areas.

Transportation

While driving is a great way to explore Praia, you can also use public transportation like taxis and “aluguer” minibuses to navigate the city. Ferry services ensure connectivity to the other islands of Cape Verde.

So, gear up for an unforgettable trip to Praia and make the most of your vacation with a perfect rental car deal. The road is yours to discover!
