What are the cheapest months to go to Praia?
May, September and October are great times to search for cheap Praia holiday packages. Choosing to travel in less busy months means you can typically find reduced prices on hotels and flights.
How many days is enough for Praia?
To fully enjoy your Praia holiday, we suggest staying for 3 days. Split your time between visiting Prainha Beach, Dona María Pia Lighthouse and other key sights, on top of exploring neighbourhoods like Vila Nova and Terra Branca.

How to find the best Praia package deals?
Use Expedia's filters to help you find some terrific Praia package deals. When you begin your search, simply set your maximum budget and then order the results by "Price: low to high." If you're looking to save, plan your trip for midweek, or search for Praia package deals in the off-peak season. Switch up your travel dates and you may score even better discounts.

Expedia holiday packages are designed to help you keep more money in your pocket. Bundle your hotel, flight and car rental into one great-value price and you could save hundreds of dollars.

And you'll still get the flexibility to create a tailored Praia holiday by choosing your favourite type of stay, airline and car class.
