Top Things To See
Cape Verde
• Wander around Cidade Velha in Santiago, the first European settlement in the tropics and a World Heritage site to boot. City ruins from the 1600s have survived the ravages of both time and pirates, and Fortaleza Real de Sao Filipe, a dramatic cliff-side fort, provides sea views.
• Trek around Cape Verde's diverse islands. Fogo has a beautiful volcanic peak with sweeping views, while Boa Vista has a desert-like quality with shifting sand dunes and palm trees.
• Sun yourself on Cape Verde's pristine beaches. Two of the best are the fine white sand beaches of Sal and the salty black sand beaches of Sao Nicolau.
• Watch the sunset on Sal Island. Truly one of the most beautiful in the world.
• Go bird-watching. Cape Verde is home to several rare breeds of African birds, as well as unique types of sparrows, swifts and warblers.
