The highlight happens in June, where the massive street party of Sanjoaninas takes over the downtown of Angra do Heroísmo. With the second-largest population after São Miguel, and known as the party island of the Azores, there is always something happening to keep you busy in Terceira.

Many large waterfalls in an area with lush green mountains and rock formations, this one of the most breahtaking natural sceneries in the Azores. Flores is the place where your adventurous side takes over, powered by the dramatic landscapes, lush hills, and the charming roads embellished by vibrant hydrangeas. In fact, the entire island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with dozens of waterfalls, lakes, and massive rock formations. I loved my time there because it allowed me to connect to nature even more. It’s raw, exotic and remote and a top-notch paradise for birdwatchers. The westernmost territory in Europe, Flores is well off the beaten track.
👌 Go here if…: you want to experience what true remoteness feels like.

If weather collaborates, sunset here is incredible. The crater of the extinct Corvo‘s old volcano. Apart from being the easiest to fly to, it offers the largest amount of things to do and see.
That said, if your time is limited and/or don’t want to spend too much time in logistics, pick São Miguel island. What is the best island to visit in the Azores?ĩ islands of Azores have an incredible range of stunning landscapes with a wide array of outdoor activities and things to do, so I highly recommend you visit at least 2-3 of them to have a good grasp of life in the islands. Part of the true Azores experience is being able to chill and have time to take it all in. If you’re always on the go rushing from point A to point B, it won’t be nearly as rewarding, trust me. It’s essential to plan efficiently and avoid FOMO (fear of missing out). One of them is that getting around the islands can be costly and time-consuming. If it’s your first time visiting, I strongly recommend reading my intro guide to Azores as well as the main things you should know before your trip. You can get to Azores flying directly from mainland Portugal, United States, Canada, or a few other European countries like Germany, Sweden or the UK. The islands are an eco-tourism paradise who just very recently have been “discovered” by (mass) tourism. They’re mostly known for its raw natural scenery and untouched landscapes of lakes, waterfalls, and green meadows. The Azores are a Portuguese group of 9 islands in the North Atlantic Ocean.
