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 assembled, we will 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 town port, we'll reach the Capitães Generais Palace and Jardim Duque da Terceira, which was originally a Jesuit school and today hosts valuable works of art.

We will continue the tour by visiting the Santuario Nossa Senhora da Conceição to admire its striking white and blue facade. We will learn about the history of the Paços do Concelho and the church of Santísimo Salvador da Sé, the cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo.

We will stop at a pastry shop, allowing half an hour of free time to enjoy a coffee and a traditional Portuguese pastry.

Afterwards, we will visit the Teatro Angrense, a 19th-century building hosting the island's theater groups and national performances.

Lastly, we will visit the Duque de Bragança market and enjoy a live demonstration of traditional Azorean embroidery. This will conclude our tour.
