8 hour layover in Salvador, Brazil
I have 8 hours to occupy while awaiting friends at the airport in Salvador. I'm arriving at 6:30 a.m. Is it easy to get into the city? What's the best place to recuperate after an overnight flight while waiting? How much will a taxi cost?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I had the same situation a few years ago. It's about an hour taxi ride, depending on traffic, from the airport to Pelourinho, the historic center of Salvador. It cost about USD$75 each way. Brazil was incredibly expensive with the poor exchange rate from US dollars. Pelourinho is a nice area to relax and eat. Just be careful about wandering down side streets away from the tourist zone.

Living in Bahia since many years.
There is a fine selection possible for things to do in Salvador in a limited amount of time.
Taxi-rides have become a bit cheaper the last year due to the loss of value from the Brazilian real to the dollar / euro.
You may always PM me for specific questions

Destination Experts on the other forum mentioned are listed on the site. The DE referred to by tengohambre was called "TCantarelli", a woman tourist (not the guide above claiming to be). Buyer beware--even for accurate information.
