General information
The Azores are Portugal’s remote Atlantic archipelago, ideal for travellers who want volcanic landscapes, green islands, hot springs, hiking, whale watching and a slower island rhythm.
Trips and nature
The islands are volcanic, green and oceanic, with crater lakes, cliffs, waterfalls, geothermal areas, pastures and dramatic weather changes.
Food and atmosphere
Island towns, whaling heritage, festivals, dairy farming, tea plantations and Atlantic seafaring traditions shape the culture.
Transport and stay
Flights link the islands with mainland Portugal and between islands. A car is very useful on most islands, especially São Miguel.
