If you'd like to add a little more culture to your escape, put Abolition Museum on your must-visit list. Check if there are any guided tours or just wander around at your own pace.
There's a charge to enter this museum, which is situated in Madalena. But there's plenty more to explore around this area than just Abolition Museum. Boa Viagem Beach, Mirabilandia Amusement Park and Dona Lindu Park are also worth checking out.
