Take a walk around the colonial centre of town. The abandoned and often scorched buildings are eerie reminders of a bygone era. Many of the buildings still have architectural value, particularly the Municipal Market building (dating from 1934) and the salmon-pink Pousada de Baucau. Children play in the buildings and in the fountains and spring overflow. Walk down the road following the beautiful spring down to the beach. Watch out for mangy dogs and goats roaming the streets!

A large spring-fed pool owned by the Pousada, set in lush grounds, with a diving board and a slide. Beautiful place for a swim.
Visit the convent mission for a look at the valuable work the sisters are doing with the children and less fortunate of Baucau. They also have a small store with local handicrafts.
