Explore the Rich Maritime Heritage at Museu Náutico da Bahia

Getting There

• Public Transportation - Bus

  If you are in the city center (Centro), head to the main bus terminal at Praça da Sé. Look for buses heading to Barra. Common bus lines include 1001, 1003, or 1005. Once on the bus, tell the driver you're going to Farol da Barra. The ride should take about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Get off at the stop near Largo do Farol da Barra, which is the main square where the museum and lighthouse are located.

• Walking

  If you are staying in the Barra neighborhood, simply walk towards the coast. Head towards Rua da Graça and follow it until you reach the waterfront. From there, walk south along Avenida Oceânica until you see the iconic lighthouse (Farol da Barra). The museum is located right next to the lighthouse at Largo do Farol da Barra.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing (like Uber)

  If you prefer a more direct option, consider taking a taxi or a ride-sharing service. Simply request a ride to 'Largo do Farol da Barra' or 'Museu Náutico da Bahia'. The driver will take you directly to the museum's entrance. This is especially convenient if you are in a different neighborhood.

• Bicycle Rental

  For an active option, you can rent a bicycle from one of the rental stations in the city. Head towards the waterfront and follow the dedicated bike lanes along Avenida Oceânica. It's a scenic ride, and you will arrive at Farol da Barra in about 30 minutes, depending on your pace. There are bike racks available at the museum.
