This is a gorgeous public garden. Well marked plants and trees. Nicely landscaped and well maintained. Very clean. It’s a relaxing place to meander or sit. You may also walk all the way up the winding paths until you reach the top overlook area with the orange monument. It’s a beautiful view of the city and of Monte Brasil. It’s free to enter and appropriate for all ages. There are some areas that are accessible. Other areas have steep stairs. My favorite part was the little river with steps so you can walk over the running water.

Great place in Angra to explore or just relax. My wife likes to get a cup of ice cream just outside the garden and enjoy it inside. I like to get popcorn and feed the birds.

A really lovely and quite large public garden. Lots of colourful and very variable flowers, trees, bushes - the things to see in a garden. You can also see some birdlife in the trees and hear frogs croaking (and see them with a bit of luck). The garden is quite large, so you can spend some hours here just walking around and enjoying the plants. You can also climb up the highest part of the hill where the first fort in town once stood.

As this island isn't boring enough, now you cant even feed the pigeons. Why do you want a park full of trees if you dont like birds. The fish is on horrible condition, the water is disgusting. I cant even look at it. There is multiple ways to take care of a pound and seems like none is being used

A beautiful garden to visit, right beside the museum. Multiple trees and plants, distributed over several layers, and an enormous space to take advantage and relax. It gives you the chance of taking gorgeous pictures and, if you go up to the top, you will also reach a viewpoint that provided breathtaking views over the city and Monte Brasil.

Terrific museum covering the history of Angra, Terceira, and the Azores. For a modest entry fee of 1 € you will need several hours to work your way through all the galleries and installations in this former convent turned museum. On any day, but especially perhaps a rainy one, MAH is worth a visit. The museum has made good efforts to improve accessibility for wheelchairs and strollers with ramps and an elevator. Thoroughly enjoyed! January 9, 2025 C & J

Great place to learn about the extensive history of Terceira and the Azores. Quite a lot to see so allow plenty of time. The self guided web based tour that was provided via QR Code was informative and helpful. Totally worth the cost of admission and dedication of an afternoon of one's time.

A wonderful place to visit! Do not let the outside appearance deceive you. Inside you will find many rooms containing historical exhibits. This museum is well organized and provides a chronological, professional display of Portuguese history. There is also a beautiful church at this wheelchair accessible location. Enjoy.

The museum has an impressive collection of art and artifacts, explaining both the history of Angra do Heroismo, as well as Terceira — from the discovery of the islands until today. The Church-Monastery complex is particularly impressive.

Fascinating museum inside a beautiful historic monument (originally a monastery and church), with very knowledgeable and helpful staff, both at the reception and inside the museum. The museum includes Terceira Island historic items and lovely Azorean artwork.
JW D — Google review
Absolutely fantastic museum in a remarkable building, the old St. Sebastian Convent. The church is historic and quite possibly one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The detail in the artwork is breathtaking. The museum does feature English translations. The exhibits take the visitor from the early days of the island to present day. For only 2€, this is a must do!!!

Kids friendly introduction: This museum is inside an old convent from the 1600s, where monks once lived! Today, it’s full of cool stuff that tells the story of Terceira – from pirate attacks and earthquakes to fancy old clothes, ships, and religious art. The building itself is a mix of baroque and simple Azorean style – solid, white walls with calm cloisters (peaceful garden courtyards) that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. A great place to explore the island’s wild and heroic history!

The biggest church in the Azores! Built in the late 16th century. It became the island’s main cathedral and has survived earthquakes, a fire, and even a royal visit or two. With its two tall towers, grand arches, and peaceful inside full of stone columns and golden altars, it’s a mix of Mannerist and Baroque styles with a significant Spanish influence. Downstairs, there’s a treasure-filled sacristy with old paintings and silver. And try to find a reading desk made of tropical woods, it is decorated with inlay made of whale bones!

⛪️ The Sé Catedral de Angra, also known as the Cattedrale di Angra do Heroísmo, is a stunning Catholic cathedral located in the heart of Angra do Heroísmo, a historic city on the island of Terceira, Azores, Portugal. As I walked towards the cathedral, I was struck by its imposing presence and beautiful architecture. 🏛️ The exterior of the cathedral is a mix of Gothic and Manueline styles, with intricate stone carvings and ornate decorations. The façade is adorned with statues of saints and biblical figures, adding to its grandeur. I was particularly drawn to the beautiful rose window above the main entrance, which filters in a kaleidoscope of colors and lights. ✝️ As I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a sense of tranquility and peace. The interior is just as impressive as the exterior, with soaring vaulted ceilings, ornate altarpieces, and stunning stained-glass windows. I spent a few moments in quiet contemplation, taking in the beauty and history of this sacred space. 🕊️ What struck me most about the Sé Catedral de Angra was its sense of history and significance. Built in the 16th century, it has played a vital role in the spiritual and cultural life of the island for centuries. As I wandered through the cathedral, I couldn't help but feel a deep connection to the people who have worshiped here over the years. 💭 As I left the cathedral, I felt grateful for the experience. The Sé Catedral de Angra is a true treasure of the Azores, and a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or spirituality.

Kids friendly review: This tall stone tower was built to thank King Pedro IV, who helped the people of Terceira fight for freedom during a big war in the 1800s (the Liberal Wars). He supported the side that wanted a fairer, freer government, and even sent help from here! The monument looks like a fancy mini obelisk (a tall, pointy tower) in neoclassical style – that means it was made to look strong, elegant, and a bit like ancient Roman monuments. You can climb up to see amazing views over Angra, just like the king might’ve done!
Filip F — Google review
A giant yellow & white monument for Dom Pedro IV (King of Portugal in 1826) aka Pedro I of Brazil aka "the Liberator" aka "the Soldier King". If you are able, follow the path/steps up from the Duke of Terceira Garden (Jardim Duque da Terceira) and enjoy spectacular views along the way. The top is also accessible by car and bus.

Bryn — Google review
Definitely take this (inexpensive (3 Euro) tour (the only way to see inside this historic (and current) seat of government. The tour of this 16th century residence, school, Chapel and offices deftly captures the somewhat twisted history of Terceira and the Azores - which itself mirrors the larger machinations of the Spanish and Portuguese empires. It's a great grounding for the more human and down to earth parts of the history you'll learn during your visit to this wonderful city. Don't skip the gardens or Chapel! Sorry, but because the Palace is still used for the administration of the Azores, picture-taking is restricted to the modem exhibit room and the chapel.

Kids friendly introduction: This big blue-and-white church sits right by the harbor and looks like it’s watching over the sea! It was built in the 18th century as part of a hospital and charity center where people helped the sick and the poor – that’s why it’s called Misericórdia (which means “mercy”). It has a beautiful baroque front with twin towers and fancy decorations, showing the style of the time. Sailors and travelers used to stop here to pray for safe journeys. It’s not just a church – it’s a piece of Angra’s heart, where faith and kindness met history.

(Translated by Google) The Impérios are one of the oldest and most beautiful traditions in the Azores. You will find them on all the islands of the Azores archipelago. Here I show you the beautiful Império de São Sebastião, which is next to the church of the same name and is worth visiting for its historical value in the city. This is an old Catholic tradition that pays homage to the Divine Holy Spirit. They are very well looked after by the inhabitants of all the neighborhoods located there. They are places of worship where many traditions are remembered and greatly respected by the people of the region. They are responsible for receiving donations and distributing them to those most in need. The Impérios are not usually very large buildings, but they stand out for their beauty, which is usually reflected in the multiple colors used in their painting. They all have an altar, always decorated with many white lace cloths made by the hands of the women of the region. The altar also always has many fresh and natural flowers. (Original) Os impérios são uma das mais antigas e belas tradições dos Açores, você vai encontrá-los em todas as ilhas do arquipélago dos açores. Aqui posto o lindo império de São Sebastião, que fica ao lado da igreja do mesmo nome e que vale a pena ser visitada por seu valor histórico na cidade. Essa é uma antiga tradição católica que faz homenagem ao Divino Espírito Santo. São muito bem cuidados pelos habitantes de todos os bairros nele instalado. São locais de culto onde muitas tradições são relembradas e muito respeitadas pelo povo da região. São responsáveis por receber doações e distribuir as mesmas aos mais necessitados. Os impérios normalmente não são construções muito grandes, mas se destacam por sua beleza que normalmente se reflete pelas múltiplas cores utilizadas em sua pintura. Todos tem um altar, sempre decorado com muitos panos brancos rendados pelas mãos das mulheres da região, também no altar sempre tem muitas flores frescas e naturais.

(Translated by Google) This is another Holy Spirit Temple on Terceira. It was built in 1918. Its unique feature is its lavish decoration: painted images depicting food from the Feast of the Holy Spirit are on the base, and floral patterns are entwined on the gable. I was also able to get a good look inside through the glass door. (Original) Dies ist ein weiterer Heiliggeisttempel auf Terceira. Er wurde 1918 erbaut. Die Besonderheit liegt in der üppigen Dekoration und zwar sind Bilder am Sockel mit Speisen des Heiliggeistfestes bemalt und am Giebel ranken sich Blumenmuster. Auch konnte ich einen guten Blick durch die Glasscheibe der Tür ins innere werfen.

The only good part of this hotel is location and good breakfast. We are here for our 35th wedding anniversary. We were put in the old section with no view, old twin beds, and ants!! Ants all over our personal bathroom belongings when we came back at the end of the day! They knew there was a problem because we saw ant traps in the room. We arrived at 8 am and had to wait until 3 pm. Others were checked in. When I saw our room I asked for a better room. They said they had no rooms available. At 6 pm, two youg ladies checked in and were given a room in the new section. I was at the desk when they checked in and asked why I wasn't offered that room. They just said I wouldn't want that room, it was smaller. I told them I should have been given that choice since I was there 10 hrs before them. They treated us like 2nd class citizens. Would not stay here again. I am an Airbnb host, and I work very hard for my 5 star reviews. I have a 4.95 rating and am a Superhost. This hotel does not care about their average guest or it's ratings.

An old fort that is nowadays a hotel. You can enter the fort during opening hours. Lovely views!

Exceptional stay! In February 2024 I stayed here with a group of 16 students from my high school in Rome. The location is extremely unique and it's a short walk from most sights in Angra. Breakfast and dinner were excellent (they catered for me as a vegan guest) and the swimming pool and views were great. The staff was very kind and understanding. Strongly recommended!

We stayed here two nights and it was great. Plenty of parking, excellent views of the bay and Mount Brasil. The room was comfortable and spacious, the bed was comfy and it was cool to stay in this modern area of the fortress. The fort itself is a nice quick walk to again get great views of the bay and the Atlantic beyond. I would definitely stay here again! A bit of a walk into the city, but not bad.

An old colonial fort built on a rocky hill, that protects the east side of Angra bay. Inside they built a hotel but I found the entrance of the fort free. It was worth the visit, mainly for the views from it.

An excellent experience to be confronted by the mountain, the vulcans and the sea...

Amazing coastal viewpoint with volcanic history! Pico Matias Simão is a scenic volcanic cone on Terceira’s north coast, formed by strombolian eruptions. From the top (153 m), you get breathtaking views of the Atlantic and even the island of Graciosa on clear days. It’s part of the Azores Geopark and a great example of a spatter cone, with unique lava formations shaped by wind and sea. You’ll also find a native forest at the summit and may spot Cory’s shearwaters nesting in the cliffs. There’s a historic cross (Cruzeiro) built in 1940, and the spot was once used for whale watching. A must-stop for nature lovers and geology fans!

Beautiful viewpoint. A nice hike up. You can visit the village of Altares, see the Imperio, have a nice meal (alcatra) in the restaurant and then walk up to this viewpoint :)

Gorgeous views. A bit of a hike but the steps make it easier.

Even on a rainy day, the view here is beautiful, quite different from viewpoints ont the top of the island. Nice spot to check out if you’re in the area.
