If you love diving and snorkelling, it's a paradise. I got my first open water diver license while staying in Mindelo. And there's always something going on in the city. Full of activities and cultural things to enjoy!

I liked the atmosphere and vibrance of the city.
I liked the atmosphere and vibrance of the city. Everywhere at night is live music. During the day you can walk around town or do an island tour or relax at Laguinha Beach. At night its best you take a taxi everywhere you go, because it can get a little sketchy. The taxi's are 2 euro's per ride.
Don't forget Mindelo is a city with it's own problems. There are a lot of homeless people, junks and other people who want something. Especially when you are a tourist. You have to find your way.
Nice places to eat: Casa Cafe Mindelo, La Pergola, Nautilus (these are all pretty touristic)
Nice cafe: Jazzy Bird
I would say, maximum of 7 days is enough.

Mindelo is a city with a vibe.
Mindelo is a city with a vibe. Its vibrant, full of colours and lovely people. I was there during the annual carnival -- a must see. But Sao Vicente, Mindelo, is a place where you can mingle and jingle at the same time.
I loved the different arts on the streets. And of course Cesera Evoro's house.
Mindelo is full of artists -- musicians most of all.

Mindelo is a place that you can like or not be too sure...
Mindelo is a place that you can like or not be too sure about. I liked it. It was a bit rough edged,, but more interesting and lively than Praia. The exhibit on Cesaria Evora in the museum was interesting. Buy some CDs- you won't regret it! Some of the restaurants are too European and cater to the yachtie crowd- find ones that are more Verdean. The markets are interesting- be sure to go into the fish market. Walk the streets and look at the wall murals and architecture. Go into the artisan area. I wan't there on a weekend- so live music was less easy to find, but in Cafe Mindelo you can listen to it.

It is not too big so it's easy to get around.
It is not too big so it's easy to get around. You have an accessable beach nearby, also great for snorkelling. The best places to eat need some exploring, ask other travellers who have been around for longer. Watch out for pickpockets. Was a major problem now.
Quaint small hotel in Central Mindelo. No.pool or restaurant but staff more than made up for that.
A good breakfast buffet plus you could order snacks eg sandwiches, coffee etc all day long. A lovely rooftop terrace gave views across Mindelo.
Always happy and willing to help, they treat you like a member of the family. While everyone was fab I'd like to pick out Jaizela for going just that little bit further. She did her job so well and had a wonderful friendly manner. Thank you Kira's hotel for a great two night stay!
A fantastic 2 night stay in December at this very spacious, modern, comfortable and clean apartment. Close to Lighuna beach - great for swimming and easy to walk into town. Special thanks to Denis who met us from the ferry and drove us to the apartment, gave us all the information needed at the check-in and also drove us to the airport at the end of our trip. He was truly exceptional in his manner and kindness, adding to a wonderful relaxing last 2 days of our Cape Verde adventure in Mindelo!
This is a luxury apartment which is located overlooking the best beach on Sao Vicente. Georgette was a wonderful host linking me to authentic Cape Verde experiences. It is also a safe 5 min walk to the ferry to Santo Antao and 10 min walk into Mindelo where on the weekend you will find live music at every corner. Loved my room which was very airy and had a quite ceiling fan. Quality linens and towels provided even for the beach. I will definitely be back to stay.
The staff was exceptionally friendly. The help and extra’s they provided was incredible. Also the location right in the middle heart of Mindelo. Clean rooms have all western standards (rainshower, soap miniatures, minibar, safe, tv with Netflix etc). The breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious things, both local and international. And don’t forget about the rooftop with hot tub! Amazing place, would definately recommend.
Amazing place! Sofie and Christophe made us feel at home as soon as we stepped into their beautiful house. This sweet family has a eye for details, and is always available for their guests! The room was very very comfy, with all the necessary facilities, super clean ! The breakfast was absolutely delicious and we ate it on their roof top which offers a beautiful view of Mindelo! I can only recommend to stay at Casa Bom Dia!!
The room was clean and big. There was also a balcony. The bathroom was super clean. The owner was really friendly and the breakfast she prepared was great too.
Even if the place is not located in the center of Mindelo, it is not far by foot and one can also take a bus a few meters from the house next to a nice bar/restaurant and reach the center of the city in a few minutes (for 40 cents!).
We liked everything! A very friendly and helpful host welcomed us in this clean and modern apartment. The bed is big and comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped and there's always warm water in the shower. There's even a private patio you can use, with a drying rack for your washings. We will definitely come back if we are in Mindelo again.
Fantastic modern and beautifully decorated hotel.
Nice spacious and clean room with a good bed and very quiet.
Very friendly and helpful reception staff.
Breakfast is great with lots of fresh fruit and delicious bread. The staff at breakfast are also very kind.
Great view on the lovely roof terrace.
And close to all hotspots.

This place is peaceful the rooms are spread apart which provides privacy solid walls, in the room you will have everything you need, excellent customer service,
the food is good here but the location is perfect a lot of great places near by and it a recommendation to anyone coming to são Vicente .
Nilsa was such a great host! She even came to meet me at the airport, and was very helpful anytime I had a question or query. The house is on a small uphill, but very easy to access from the ferry and central. I definitely want to come back, not only to Mindelo - but to Vila Mira Mar.! Thank you! x
Great studio apartment located in a central area of Mindelo. Close to restaurants and bars with live music. Easy check in and check out, and available to leave your bags if your flight is after the check out. The host gave us suggestions and was always easy to communicate. Recommend it.
The hosts Orietta and Stefano were incredibly friendly and helpful. They advised us on traveling the country, which was super helpful.
The hotel is very charming and has great facilities. It is also very good located to go to the city or the port. The breakfast is also great.
Great location on a square on the waterfront. Cafe offered local live music after 8PM, which was fantastic. Rooms are basic, but good value for the cost, including a sufficient breakfast. <10 minute walk to ferry. ~5 minute walk to other nice restaurants in Mindelo.
Really large with an appealing and genuine aesthetic. We actually liked the location for being just a little out of the way and above things. The roof terrace is great, Getting around was easy enough with Mindelo's cheap taxis up hill, and nice walks downhill.
Outstanding service, very spacious room, crisp clean sheets and fresh towels, excellent wifi on the roof and in the lobby, excellent breakfast buffet from 7 to 10, hotel location is right across from the ferry terminal (could't be closer), view of the harbor.
Nicely decorated, clean, comfortable bed and nice shower.
Nice terrace to chill with a view over Mindelo.
Short walk to the market and central Mindelo and cafes and restaurants.
Also arranged transfer from the airport.
Would stay again in my future travels.
