Cape Verde Travel Tips
Must-see hotspots

Data planning
For light use (maps, messaging, social), plan 2–4 GB/week. If you stream videos, make video calls, or work remotely, consider 6–10 GB or more. You can top up easily via the Simology app while you travel.
Insider tips
- — Public Wi‑Fi may be limited or unsecured on smaller islands — using your eSIM provides a safer, more consistent connection.
- — Domestic travel is by short flights and ferries; keep your eSIM active to check schedules, book tickets, and navigate ports and airports.
- — The dry season (roughly November to June) is popular for beaches and water sports; the windier months are perfect for kitesurfing. Weather and ferry schedules can vary by season, so plan ahead.
