Sunsets and festivals
The ‘Lilac Isle’, so called because of its captivating pastel sunsets, is a vibrant place of people, culture and colour.  Also known as the Island of Never-Ending Festivals, the summer months on Terceira bring a permanent festival of colour. The Festas do Espirito Santo (Holy Spirit Celebrations) bring the ceremony of the Crowning of the Emperor to every village on the island, followed by a united celebration where food and locally produced wine are enjoyed in abundance. 

History and culture
The largest town, Angra do Heroísmo, is a UNESCO world heritage site – a testimony to the royalty and noblemen who have at one time or another contributed to the landscape of the town resulting in its wonderful examples of 17th and 18th century architecture. It’s a regional administrative and cultural centre, whereby music, literature, theatre and education influence the style and atmosphere of this fascinating town.

Focus on activity holidays
Walking in the rugged interior and exploring the magnificent cavern of Algar do Carvao are experiences not to be missed.  For golfers, there is an idyllic 18 hole golf course just a few minutes drive from the airport.
