Cape Verde Travel Tips

Must-see hotspots

Sal's Santa Maria beach, Boa Vista dunes, Mindelo's carnival and music scene, Fogo's volcanic crater and vineyards (Chã das Caldeiras), Santo Antão hiking trails, Praia markets on Santiago, and quiet beaches on Maio and São Nicolau.

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.
