Most visitors require a visa to enter Cape Verde. However, citizens of certain countries are exempt. It's best to check the latest visa requirements for your nationality before travelling.

The local currency is the Cape Verdean Escudo (CVE). It's advisable to carry some cash, although credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and larger restaurants.

While Portuguese is the official language, many locals speak Creole. In tourist areas, English is commonly spoken, especially by those working in the tourism industry.

Inter-island travel is possible via domestic flights and ferries. However, schedules can be irregular, so it's advisable to plan and confirm your travel arrangements in advance.

Internet access is generally available in hotels and cafes, though it may not be as fast as in other countries. Mobile data plans can be purchased locally for more reliable connectivity.

Don't miss out on trying cachupa, a traditional Cape Verdean stew, or the grilled seafood options like tuna and lobster. Grogue, a locally produced sugarcane rum, is also well worth tasting.
