Flights from Brussels to Ponta Delgada (Azores)

Flying from Brussels to Ponta Delgada: lagoons, crater lakes and Atlantic tranquillity

What are the sights of Ponta Delgada?

On São Miguel, you'll come across places you won't find anywhere else. Between the green hills and the rugged coastline lie sights that show just how extraordinary the Azores are.

• Sete Cidades: walk around the twin crater lakes and watch the water shift between shades of blue and green. The view from the rim of the crater will stay with you.
• Lagoa do Fogo: a crater lake in the heart of the island, surrounded by untouched nature. Walk down to the shore and gaze out over the still water.
• Furnas: head down into this steaming valley and see the earth literally bubble beneath your feet. Then try the cozido das Furnas, a stew slow-cooked for hours in the volcanic ground. Delicious!
• The old centre of Ponta Delgada: walk downhill towards the harbour. Along the way, you'll pass the city gate and the striking black-and-white church square.
• Ribeira Grande: a seaside town in the north of the island with a wide beach of black sand.

What can you do?

The Azores are a great destination for those who enjoy an active holiday. That makes Ponta Delgada the perfect starting point for a journey across several islands, such as Terceira and Pico.

• Whale and dolphin watching: hop on a boat and head out into the open Atlantic. The chances of spotting dolphins or fin whales are high.
• Snorkelling in clear waters: the waters around the Azores are crystal clear and teeming with life. Dive in and see what's lurking beneath the surface!
• Thermal bathing: step into the warm waters of the natural thermal springs at Ferraria, Furnas or Caldeira Velha. A wonderful way to unwind after a day of exploring.
• Walking on Terceira: this island has several walking routes. Climb Monte Brasil and meet the cats that call this mountain home. Inland, follow the Trilho Mistérios Negros trail through a densely forested area.
• Wine tasting on Pico: Pico is known for its Verdelho wine, best enjoyed on a terrace among the vineyards. Feeling active? Climb the Pico volcano, at 2,351 metres, the highest mountain in Portugal.
