Worth knowing about Praia
- The airport is only 3 km northeast of downtown Praia, and the taxi is quoted at 500 escudos by day, rising to 800 after 18:00.
- Do not wait for the airport bus. One line serves the airport but only one or two buses actually run it, so a taxi is the practical way out of the terminal.
- Praia is on Santiago and its harbour is the second busiest in the country, with the direct ferry routes running to Maio, Fogo and São Vicente.
- City buses inside Praia are run by SolAtlântico on 12 lines, and intercity share taxis leave from the Sucupira terminal in the centre.
