Angra do Heroismo, Terceira, Azores

Angra do Heroísmo on the island of Terceira is the Azores’ oldest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss its 16th-century fortress and Renaissance streets. Consider visiting the Algar do Carvão with its 90-meter volcanic chimney, as well as the vineyards and lava pools in Biscoitos. If you can extend your stay here, make the most of it with guidance from the Azores visitors’ site.
