All about Cape Verde
When to Visit
The best time to visit Cape Verde is between November and June, when the weather is sunny, dry, and warm. These months offer ideal conditions for outdoor activities like hiking and windsurfing. If you prefer a quieter holiday, consider traveling during the shoulder seasons in late spring or early autumn. While Cape Verde experiences a rainy season from August to October, showers are usually brief, and temperatures remain pleasant year-round.
Getting Around
Navigating Cape Verde is an adventure in itself! Ferries connect the islands, although flights are a quicker and more reliable option for island hopping. Taxis and aluguer minibuses are common for short distances on larger islands like Sal and Santiago. For more independence, car rentals are available in major tourist hubs. Always confirm ferry schedules as they can be affected by weather.
Traveler Tips
Bring lightweight clothing for the tropical climate, and don’t forget sunscreen. Most locals speak Portuguese and Creole, but basic English is understood in tourist areas. Try the local specialty, Cachupa, and join in on a music-filled night of morna or funaná. Tap water isn’t potable, so stick to bottled water. Lastly, a power adapter may be necessary, as the electrical outlets follow European standards.
