Angra do Heroísmo

Key historical sites include the Fortress of São João Baptista, the Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Angra), the Palácio dos Capitães-Generais, and the Câmara Municipal (City Hall). Wandering through the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an experience in itself, with its colorful buildings and cobblestone streets.

Terceira Island offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Popular options include hiking trails, diving and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, whale watching tours, exploring volcanic caves like Algar do Carvão, and enjoying the island's natural swimming pools.

The best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. The summer months (July-August) are also popular, offering warm temperatures ideal for water activities, but expect more tourists. The Azores generally have a mild climate year-round.
