Azores landscape

Region guide

Azores

The Azores are a Portuguese archipelago of nine volcanic islands in the mid-Atlantic — a destination unlike anywhere else in Europe, with crater lakes, hot springs, whale watching, and some of the most dramatic natural landscapes on the planet. São Miguel and Faial are the most visited islands, but each has its own character and a growing number of carefully considered boutique places to stay.
