Tour Details
At the time of your choice, we'll meet at a central meeting point to begin our 3-hour guided tour of the capital of Terceira. Once we're all here, we'll start our walking tour to discover the main attractions of this Portuguese city.
Did you know the city was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO? From the port of the town, we'll reach the Capitães Generais Palace and Jardim Duque da Terceira, originally a Jesuit school housing valuable works of art.
We'll continue the tour and visit the Santuario Nossa Senhora da Conceição to admire its striking white and blue facade. We'll learn about the history of the Paços do Concelho building and the famous church of Santísimo Salvador da Sé, the cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo.
With all this walking, we'll stop at a pastry shop for half an hour of free time to enjoy a coffee and a traditional Portuguese pastry.
After regaining our strength, we'll visit the Teatro Angrense, a 19th-century building hosting theater groups and major national performances.
Lastly, we'll visit the Duque de Bragança market and enjoy a live demonstration of how traditional Azorean embroidery is made, concluding our tour.
