Airports

Cape Verde has four international airports: - Amílcar Cabral International Airport (SID) on Sal, Cape Verde’s main airport; - Nelson Mandela International Airport (RAI) on Santiago; - Aristides Pereira International Airport (BVC) on Boa Vista; - Cesária Évora International Airport (VXE) on São Vicente. Many hotels can arrange a pickup service from the airport, and taxis are readily available at all terminals. A cheaper option is to take an 'aluguer', a kind of shared taxi, though this can be less convenient as they follow fixed routes.

Public Transport

Besides taxis and renting a car, the only way to get around the islands is to take an 'aluguer', or collective taxis, which can be anything from spacious vans to pick-up trucks. They connect even the smallest towns on most islands, picking up and dropping off passengers on request at any point along their route.

Taxi

Taxis are really common on all islands. It is a convenient and affordable mode of transportation in Cape Verde. In Santa Maria, taxis are blue and yellow. However, each city has its own unique colour scheme. While the prices are typically negotiable, it's advisable to confirm the fare with the driver beforehand to ensure a transparent and agreeable arrangement.

Ferry

It is possible to travel between most islands by ferry, but schedules tend to be unreliable and can often be delayed or cancelled due to stormy weather (particularly during the winter months). The most reliable connections are between Santiago, Brava and Fogo, as well as between São Vicente and Santo Antão.

Post

Correios de Cabo Verde operates postal service in Cape Verde. The headquarters are located in the city centre of Praia. More than 90% of Cape Verdean roads do not have names, so most people use community post boxes. Open Location Code system invented by Google is used by the local postal system, and residents can connect their home's location to their personal information.
