About Azores

The Azores are a chain of nine volcanic islands in the mid-Atlantic, roughly 1,400 km from mainland Portugal, known for crater lakes, thermal hot springs, hydrangea-lined roads and dramatic green coastline built from lava rock.

Some Voyzo Azores itineraries — including the Lisbon & the Azores route — start or continue on mainland Portugal, with nights in Lisbon and day trips to Sintra and Cascais, before flying on to São Miguel; we disclose exactly which nights are on the islands versus the mainland in every itinerary.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Azores

Best Time to Visit

June through September has the warmest, driest weather for hiking and exploring São Miguel's crater lakes and coastline; the Azores' Atlantic location means weather can shift quickly year-round, so a flexible itinerary helps regardless of season.

Getting Around

São Miguel's main sights — Sete Cidades, Furnas and Lagoa do Fogo — are spread across winding mountain roads with limited public transit between them, making a private vehicle the practical way to see more than Ponta Delgada itself.

Weather & What to Pack

Temperatures stay mild year-round (roughly 14-25°C / 57-77°F), but rain and cloud cover can arrive with little warning even in summer — a light waterproof layer is worth packing regardless of when you visit.

Money & Tipping

The Azores use the euro, as part of Portugal. Tipping around 5-10% at restaurants is appreciated but not obligatory, and cash is still useful in smaller towns outside Ponta Delgada.

Local Tips

The islands are volcanic and geologically active in places — Furnas' thermal springs and fumaroles, and Faial's Capelinhos volcano site, are safe to visit via marked paths but shouldn't be approached off-trail.

Getting to the Outer Islands

Beyond São Miguel, islands like Faial and Pico require a short domestic flight or ferry connection — worth building extra time into an itinerary if your trip includes more than one island.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Azores

Four to five days covers São Miguel's main highlights at a comfortable pace. A week or more allows adding a second island like Faial or Pico, reached by a short flight or ferry.
Volcanic crater lakes like Sete Cidades, thermal hot springs in Furnas, dramatic green coastline built from lava rock, and a mid-Atlantic location that keeps the islands lush and mild year-round.
Yes — its twin crater lakes, one blue-tinted and one green-tinted, sitting inside a single volcanic caldera are among the most photographed landscapes in the Azores and a genuine geological curiosity.
Public buses exist but run infrequently between the island's spread-out natural sites, so most independent visitors either rent a car or use a private driver to reach Sete Cidades, Furnas and Lagoa do Fogo in one day.
Yes — the islands have very low crime rates. The main practical safety considerations are geological (staying on marked paths around thermal and volcanic sites) and weather-related (sudden rain or fog on hiking routes).
Pico, known for its dramatic volcanic peak and vineyard landscape, and Faial, with the Capelinhos volcano memorial, are the most commonly added second islands on a longer Azores itinerary.
Yes — several itineraries pair a few nights in Lisbon, with day trips to Sintra and Cascais, with a flight on to São Miguel, disclosing clearly which nights are spent on the mainland versus the islands.
