When is the best time to visit Cape Verde?

While you can visit year-round, the best time to travel to Cape Verde is from November to June when the weather is dry and sunny. July to October sees more humidity and occasional rain, but temperatures remain warm and pleasant.

What are the top things to do in Cape Verde?

Depending on your interests, there are plenty of ways to explore. Civitatis offers activities tailored to different types of travelers, covering must-see attractions on each island.

Should you rent a car in Cape Verde?

Renting a car can be useful on larger islands like Santiago or Santo Antão, where distances are greater. However, local transportation, such as 'aluguer' shared taxis, is an affordable and popular alternative. For visitors focusing on main tourist areas, guided excursions are also an easy and convenient option.

It depends on what you’re looking for! If you love exotic beaches and relaxation, Boa Vista and Sal are perfect choices. For adventure seekers and nature lovers, Santo Antão is often considered the most breathtaking island, with lush valleys and dramatic mountain landscapes.
