For those planning to have fun at Salvador Carnival, it is important to plan ahead. As it is one of the busiest times of the year in the city, which is packed with people, it is necessary to plan well in advance to be able to travel without any setbacks.

It is important to keep in mind that there are three main circuits that take place during the event: Dodô circuit (Barra/Ondina), Osmar circuit (Campo Grande) and Batatinha (Pelourinho). The most traditional among them is Campo Grande, which has a 4km circuit and is quite narrow.

The City Hall also provides bleachers at more affordable prices. The Pelourinho circuit is a more alternative circuit of the Salvador Carnival, in which revelers enjoy the party to the sound of fanfares and smaller groups, as there are no trios. The Barra/Ondina circuit is the most famous and touristic of all and is 4.5 km long. The trios start playing near the Barra Lighthouse.

Partygoers who can't handle the 4.5km route and prefer a little more comfort can opt for the VIP boxes. Some of these boxes even have food and drinks. Other VIP boxes are so well-equipped that they even have well-structured restaurants and even have nightclubs and shows inside them, in addition to the circuit that will pass in front of the venue. The prices for these options can be quite steep, but there is also the option of paying in installments.

Avoid wearing jewelry and valuables during the tour, such as cell phones. And keep your money in a safe place, preferably in a safe place, such as a dollar bill. Always remember to be careful at all times, as some people present may have bad intentions and this could ruin your party completely.
