Activity itinerary

Portas da Cidade

  • 5m
These three arches are the most iconic symbol of Ponta Delgada. Originally, they stood closer to the sea and marked the entrance to the city in the 18th century. According to tradition, passing through them was said to bring good fortune.

Mercado da Graca

  • 5m
From fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers to fish, cheese, and handmade crafts, this market shows the rich agricultural and maritime heritage of São Miguel.

Torre do Relogio ou Torre Sineira

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
The Torre Sineira, or bell tower, beside the City hall is one of Ponta Delgada’s key landmarks. Built in the 16th century, the tower once acted as the city’s voice. Its bells marked the hours, announced celebrations, and warned people of danger. You can climb the tower free of charge. At the top, after 106 steps, you are rewarded with a panoramic view over the city. Looking east, you may even see the outline of the Fogo volcano on the horizon.

Museu Carlos Machado

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Carlos Machado Museum, that was created in 1876 and opened in 1880, is a public service institution determined to preserve and showcase its vast and rich heritage, which is the foundation and expression of an Islander’ s identity in the midst of a large sea.

Jardim Botanico Antonio Borges

  • 20m
This romantic park was created in the 19th century by António Borges da Câmara de Medeiros, a wealthy Azorean businessman, landowner, and politician. Passionate about botany and experimentation, he transformed his private estate into a garden filled with plants from many parts of the world, testing how they would adapt to São Miguel’s mild climate. Among the highlights are the remarkable fig trees, giant evergreens, and especially the Australian banyan tree, known for its powerful roots and broad canopy.
