Getting Around

Taxis are readily available in the larger towns and resort areas and are generally of a good standard. Although they work on a meter they can at times be ‘creative’ so it is always worth agreeing the cost before setting off. A two to three mile journey should cost around 3 Euro.

The most inexpensive way of getting around are the aluguers’ that are easily identified and drive around the town and are often full of passengers and packages. You simply shout when you want to get off. These usually operate daily until 1930.

Island to Island

Flying is the most practical way of travelling between the islands however the airline that operates these, TACV, can sometimes change schedules and flights are sometimes delayed. The only regular ferry operating is the ferry crossing between São Vicente and Santo Antão.
