At a time that suits you best, we will convene at a central location to kick off our three-hour guided journey through the capital of Terceira. Once everyone has gathered, our walking expedition will begin, allowing us to uncover the key attractions of this historic Portuguese city.

Are you aware that this city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site? From the town's harbor, we will proceed to the Capitães Generais Palace and the Jardim Duque da Terceira, which was once a Jesuit school and is now home to numerous revered artworks.

As we progress, we will visit the Santuario Nossa Senhora da Conceição and take in its stunning white and blue exterior. The history of the Paços do Concelho will be revealed, along with insights into the renowned church of Santísimo Salvador da Sé, which serves as Angra do Heroísmo's cathedral.

Once we've replenished our energy, we'll continue our visit to the Teatro Angrense, a 19th-century establishment that showcases theater productions from the island as well as significant national events.

In our final stop, we'll explore the Duque de Bragança market, where you can witness a live demonstration of traditional Azorean embroidery. This will mark the conclusion of our tour.
