Angra do Heroísmo: UNESCO's world heritage
Angra is an open-air history book. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its narrow and charming streets tell centuries of history and culture
Terceira Island is part of the Azores archipelago and a true gem in the heart of the Atlantic. Despite its modest 400 km², it is full of surprises that enchant both visitors and locals, who never tire of rediscovering it. With around 56,000 inhabitants, it is a place where tradition meets the present, and every corner holds a secret worth exploring.
The best time to visit the island is from May to October, when the weather is milder. But, truth be told, the magic of Terceira is timeless – even during the rainier months, it’s still worth the trip. To truly see and experience the island, a four-day itinerary is recommended, allowing enough time to relax and fall in love with its authenticity.
Here are the recommendations from our dear contributor, Fabiana Bravo, who grew up with her feet on this volcanic land.
