Cape Verde
Travel to Cape Verde for a holiday or city break
Arriving at Cape Verde, you might be welcomed by a taxi driver who claims he once played football with a famous singer, but then admits maybe it was actually her cousin. On these islands, popular things to do or visit include markets where the mangoes taste like the sea breeze and the fishermen sometimes sell fish that looks suspiciously like yesterday’s catch. If you are looking for the best hotel in Cape Verde, ask five locals – you will get seven answers, none the same, and all ending with an invitation for grogue that can turn your afternoon upside down. Forget your shoes some days; the sand sneaks into everything anyway.

Long-term travel destination popular things to do or visit in Cape Verde
Travelers searching for a travel destination popular things to do or visit will stumble upon Cape Verde’s volcanic landscapes, where an old man named Joaquim sits outside his house, selling coffee with a side of stories about goats that once outsmarted a mayor. Hiking up Fogo, you may find your shoelace untying itself as if the mountain wants to keep you there a little longer, and you will meet chickens who seem to have mastered the art of ignoring tourists.
At the beach, a woman selling pastel de milho may forget the change but never forgets to ask about your family back home. If you ask about the best hotel in Cape Verde, someone will suggest a place where the pillows are soft as a politician’s promise (but the Wi-Fi might take a siesta). The wind here does not care about your hairstyle, and the ferry schedule is more of a suggestion than a plan. In Cape Verde, you leave with more sand in your bag than you arrived with, and possibly a song in your head that you do not remember learning.
