  • Cape Verde ↗Check entry rules and any pre-arrival registration for your passport on official Cape Verde government sources before you fly.
  • Cape Verde ↗Confirm ferries and inter-island flights the day before; sea conditions and schedules change at short notice.
  • Santiago area ↗Confirm the Fogo ferry or flight the day before and keep a buffer day before your international flight.
  • Praia ↗Steps, slopes and uneven paving between the Plateau and the lower districts: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Praia ↗Quiet streets and stairways are not for walking alone after dark; take a taxi door to door.
