When to go?
Salvador's Carnaval is second only to Rio's, and said to be much more participatory (February or March, depending on the year). If you want to watch go to Rio; if you want to join in, go to Salvador. Obviously you need to book well in advance! The rainy season in Salvador tends to be May-July.
Author's tips
A stay of 1 or 2 nights would be great, either at the very beginning or end of a trip to Salvador. It's only 10 minutes from the airport and provides a more peaceful contrast to the full-on experience of staying in the Pelhourinho district.
