Flights to Cape Verde

Cape Verde is an archipelago nation of volcanic landscapes, idyllic beaches and remote island experiences. It consists of 10 islands, each with its own character.

Sal is famous for its long white, sandy beaches and clear waters, making it the perfect spot of relaxation and water sports. On Fogo Island, you can hike the dramatic peak of Pico do Fogo (an active volcano!) or explore the Martian-like desert landscapes of Boa Vista. Santiago Island is the largest of the archipelago and is home to over half of Cape Verde's population.

Cape Verde was first discovered by Portuguese sailors in 1456 who quickly settled and built the archipelago into an outpost for slave trade. Over the years, descendants of slavers and slaves have developed the unique Creole culture on Cape Verde. It's a fusion of African and Portuguese cultures, with 70% of the population being mixed race.

Praia, the capital of Cape Verde, is a good base to stay in if you're planning to trek around different islands within the Cape Verde archipelago. As the port of entry for most visitors, it's pretty easy to get to with the city's airport serving regular connections to Portugal, Brazil and mainland Africa.

The capital is situated on the southern coast of Santiago Island with a population of around 150,000 people. The tourism industry hasn't had the chance to kick off yet in Praia, but this means the local culture has been allowed to remain intact and fairly untouched. While visiting Praia, you'll want to visit Praia Town Hall - with its neoclassicist style and square central tower, it's one of the finest examples of colonial architecture around.

Several events and festivals take place throughout the year in Praia. In February, the streets of Praia come alive with the colourful and spectacular Cape Verde Carnival - dancing, drinking and debauchery go on for days! If you're visiting in April, you might be able to see the Kriol Jazz Festival - this event promotes Cape Verde's rich musical heritage, with influences from Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.

No matter when you plan to visit Praia, you'll be able to search for and book flights to the city right here at Alternative Airlines. We recommend booking your flights in advance if you'd like to visit during the peak season which is December to April.
