Discover the charms of the capital of Terceira on this guided tour of Angra do Heroísmo. History, culture, tradition, breathtaking landscapes, and much more await you in this city, let's go!

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.

The city was nominated as 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 that now houses valuable works of art.

We'll continue the tour and visit the Santuario Nossa Senhora da Conceição and admire its striking facade. We'll learn about the history of the Paços do Concelho and the famous church of Santísimo Salvador da Sé, the cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo.

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 that hosts theater groups from the island and national performances.

Lastly, we'll visit the Duque de Bragança market and witness a live demonstration of how traditional Azorean embroidery is made, marking the end of the tour.
