Amazing view. There is the designated viewpoint with platform on the one side but you should stop and look on the other toward the ocean as well.

Beautiful landscape! We all loved it. It was really windy and a little bit cooler than on the coast side. At first we couldn't find it because there are 2 Serra do come on Google maps! The road from the south (we came from Ribeirinha) was really narrow, a typically agricultural road and we met with more than one tractor. Luckily we didn't need to reverse, this would have been really tricky on the small road.

Great place to enjoy beautiful views of the island.

A lovely view and a really fun drive up. There weren't a lot of people when I visited, although it's more of a quick stop to take a scenic photo. There were also cows resting up here when I visited.

When clear, this may be the most spectacular view on the island. The drive up through hydrangea (hortênsia) thriving on lava rock walls is a sight itself, but the big payoff comes at the top along the road and at the modern observation deck 542 meters above sea level and the 700 acre Achada Plain.

Great spot. Fantastic views all round. On one side of a huge collapsed caldera with a patchwork of fields in the basin and the rim visible on 3 sides and cones towards the sea. Also home to just about every radio mast in the Azores. Well worth a visit.

Just go and embrace the marvelous view of Terceira. Totally worth the trip.

Panoramic views!

Absolutely beautiful views! Worth the drive up!

One of the best views on the island. I downloaded Google maps prior to my visit and the location is off, had to backtrack to the main road and follow the signs.

Undoubtedly must go place. Watch if You can see the windmills from below before going. In case not its better to wait some time as probably You wont be able to see anything from above then.

Happiness looks like Serra do Cume. Extraordinary, faboulous view. Neverending "patchowork blanket" in beautiful green colour. This is the place where green land meets the blue of the ocean on the horizon.

SERRA DO CUME:  a viewpoint unlike any other we have seen in our travels. Visually arresting geometrical shapes formed by the countless stone walls and fences that frame the green pastures. against a stunning backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. A breathtaking combination of natural elements that we have not come across in any other part of the world - yet!

Once you are on top, you will be speachless. Just an amazing view!

Beautiful and clean beach. Not many people.

Very calm dark sand beach 🏖️ near the port

Very clean, great sand, no drop offs, sun umbrellas, canteen, restrooms, showers, changerooms, boardwalk, parking free.

My experience is the best beach to swim in Praia.

Beautiful beach and board walk, which will take you all the way to Praia.

Pretty villages, well maintained, large airfield and marina etc.

Praia da Vitoria in the island of Terceira is the birthplace of Nuno Bettencourt from American rock band Extreme.

Absolutely incredible pastries and cakes! The cheese croissants are buttery and delicious, and the cherry cheesecake is a must try -light, fresh, and beautifully balanced. Coffee is excellent and the staff is very friendly. The owner was very welcoming and you can tell she puts her heart into everything. A perfect spot for lunch, a treat or a coffee break!

The best cafe in town, the pastries are perfect, freshly baked and delicious the coffee is great, and the staff are so helpful, don't miss it when in town

Wonderful bakery where you can enjoy your breakfast next to locals. Great service, great coffee, delicious pastries!

Small restaurant/bakery with nice food with great soup, and at a good price.

Loved the coffee

(Translated by Google) Just like being at mom's house. Excellent food and a caring and friendly owner. Since our suitcase was damaged from the flight, they guided us to the nearest Chinese shop, where we found what we were looking for. You really meet a lot of very friendly and helpful people here. (Original) Wie bei Mama zuhause. Hervorragendes Essen und eine fürsorgliche und freundliche Inhaberin.

(Translated by Google) One of the best places I've found for meals, without a doubt. Dona Graça is a sweetheart, very attentive and caring towards her customers.

Obrigada Dona Rosa 😘 para uma próxima visita vai ser dos primeiros sítios a visitar 😁

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church and located in an equally beautiful setting. (Original) Chiesa molto bella e posizionata in un contesto altrettanto bello.

You have 2 ways to go up: either the road that winds through the green fields, the cows and the northern sea view or a geometrical structure of steps that arrives directly to the viewpoint. From there you get a nice view of the city and its unreal silence.

Totally worth visiting, beautiful place and the surroundings

Kids friendly description: This hilltop lookout gives you a stunning view over the town, the bay, and the ocean beyond. It’s called Facho because in the old days, people lit signal fires (fachos) here to warn the island if enemy ships were coming! Now there’s a big white monument to peace at the top, and it’s a great place for photos or just to feel the wind and watch the waves. You’re standing where guards once kept watch to protect the island—pretty epic, right?

Great place to get an overall view of Praia Vitoria. Super convenient and close to town. Highly recommend

Big climb for the fit and able. Acrophobics should not attempt the climb. It is reachable by road too. On the day we climbed it was closed, but worth it for the views of Praia Da Vitória and challenge for a pensioner.

If you're looking for a unique and breathtaking experience, I highly recommend checking out the swing on the top of the mountain. The journey up the mountain is a nice one, and the scenery along the way is absolutely stunning. Just be aware that you might catch a whiff of the cows before you actually see them. But don't let that deter you, because once you reach the top of the mountain, you'll be rewarded with incredible views and a truly unforgettable experience. In addition to the swing, there's also a beautiful statue to admire. It's the perfect spot to snap some photos and take in the natural beauty of the area. #Touristattraction #Photoop

Nice view of Praia da Vitória! I walked up the steps that head up to the outlook and it was very pleasant.

Stopped by for lunch, charming little restaurant. Wonderful warm service from the kind lady serving our order. Tasty tender steak, fresh salad, and potatoes. Thank you for making our last meal in the Azores a memorable experience.

Small bistro inside a little court with shops. They didn’t speak well English but it was no hinderness to get each others points across. Loved the simple chicken with lemon and the coconut dessert at the end.

Stopped for lunch as we visited Praia de Vitoria and it is a cute little place worth a visit! We were greeted immediately and sat out in the market since it was a cool day. The food was so good. I haven’t had a decent taco salad outside the US, and this one was perfect! The crispy chicken was also very good. Well worth the price. The desserts all looked amazing but the caramel carrot cake was perfect! I would definitely go back!

Stopped in for lunch at this cute restaurant. Had a delicious taco salad - probably one of the best meals I had on the islands. Service was welcoming and friendly.

The place us really cute, and in the centre. It is located on the local market place. Have eaten there several times, food is always fresh and made on order , everything was really tasty and the prices are really affordable. Staff is nice and welcoming. Their English is not the best but they give their best to explain and present the menu. Would definitely recommend.

We ate their three times during our stay in terceira. The food is very fresh and savory and the service is very fast. The taco salad was our favorite and don't leave without trying the carrot cake (it's in the cake of the day). Looks like a family own restaurant and I was very glade to encourage them!

Cute place, nice staff, food is always good.

Absolutely delicious food! The tuna was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the potatoes were super crispy with just the right amount of oil. The local dessert, Dona Amélia, is truly one of a kind and a must-try. The owners are incredibly attentive. Highly recommended!

We hade a great plate of regional cheese, very delicious! the meat was perfectly cooked to the point we ordered. and the ambiance was really great, with a touch of the libertarian revolution of 1975. I would definitely come here again!

Fantastic restaurant, it was my husband's request to find a quiet place to have dinner and my search came to this small family restaurant. The place was all reserved by the time we got there, but the owner was excellent in giving us a table for about 1 hour and 30m, and we really enjoyed our food, their picanha was so good and juicy!!! The environment is so nice and with a good vibe and ambience. Their passion fruit mousse was so delicious and light!!! A must visit place, but make sure to call and make a reservation.

The restaurant is small so be sure to reserve a table. We were lucky enough that they could fit us without reservation. The staff is so nice, both the guy who greeted and seated us, and we are so impressed with the chef also taking orders and serving. The food was super and the wine recommendation was much appreciated. I only have positive things to say and would definitely come again.

My wife and I dined here without a reservation. We were seated within 15 minutes. When seated they were so nice. And quickly went over the menu and wines they had. What a wonderful meal we had. Fantastic dinner and dessert.

One of the best food we had in our trip. I had an excellent vegan dish and my partner a massive and delicious tuna steak! The price is local, so super reasonable. The passion fruit cheese tart is absolutely delicious. The owner talk many languages and was super professional and friendly. Go for it you will not be disappointed.

Generous and truly delicious dishes to the sounds of a calm and beautiful music in a cozy and relaxing atmosphere - what else can a hungry person ask? Highly recommend!

Great place. Very reminiscent to Dunkin' Donuts. The place had a great atmosphere and the food was good. Close to the beach in Praia and easily walkable. Bathrooms were clean but small. Staff was very friendly.

This place has huge variety of food and sweets. Prices are reasonable. I would definitely give a 5 star if the server was pleasant. The lady at cashier was extremely moody! After passing by us 4 times and ignoring us, she decided to ask what we needed but in a very uneducated tone. I felt like was not welcomed there with my family! Which I was there with two educated adult family members.

Lovely American Café in Praia that specialises in donuts and sweet stuff. I recommend having breakfeast here sometime, it's really well served and it feels like a classic american café. The staff are friendly and the food is served quickly without much hassle.

Only good thing here was decent coffee. Burgers are greasy, fries were cold, no pizza option, we were desperate after a flight and regret our limited choices here (pastries did not look fresh nor appetizing). Lots are closed on Mondays here so didn’t have much options. Staff are not helpful.

If you see someone else in front of the line then be sure that you're gonna have to wait at least 40 minutes for your food. Ordered a 1€ extra and it took 45 minutes to arrive with only a few people behind me or in front of me. One person on the kitchen, on person on the front, thats their way of doing things. And as you can see it works very well 👍

Tried their donuts: a bit expensive, but it was good.

One of my favorite locations for fresh coffee. They have amazing donuts, and the pancakes and breakfast plates are good too. Friendly staff.

Located right on the front overlooking the marina. Ordered a couple of coffees and a couple of meals from their menu of the day. My wifes liver arrived but my spaghetti Bolognese came as fried chicken. Soon rectified and both meals were very good. Washed down with a litre of sangria. Free WiFi and no complaints.

Very good experience with grilled fish (I had boca negra which tasted and looked the same as yesterday in O Pescador) at half price! Of course don’t expect exceptional ambiente but the food was very good (just vegetable a little bit overcooked).

We went there for lunch. We ordered a salad with seafood and a local dish. The food was good quality and the service did not take long.

Hamburger was so so- mostly bun than meat, We waited 20-25mins for Our food… My boyfriend ordered fish soup and it came out very cold. We sent it back. Came out boiling hot. The ladies were a little unprofessional as they came from the back of house chewing on food. They weren’t very friendly - they came off cold and unwelcoming. This is our second time here - we were here back in May 2022- back then the steak was over cooked. I wouldn’t recommend.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. Very elegant and classy, the filet mignon with garlic meal was the best meal I have had here. Definitely recommended!

Super. Very good local food 👌👌

Waited 15 minutes at the table. They didn't even bring me the menu. Walked away.
