⚠️ Consigli di Viaggio Essenziali The Azores

🚗

Book Cars 6 Months Ahead

Rental cars on the islands are strictly limited. If you wait until May to book a car for July, they will either be completely sold out or cost sequence €150/day.

📷

Use SpotAzores

Never drive to Sete Cidades or Lagoa do Fogo without checking the live webcams on the SpotAzores app first. The weather at sea level does not equal the weather at the craters.

Bring an Old Swimsuit

The iron-rich, orange thermal waters in Furnas (Terra Nostra/Poça da Dona Beija) will permanently stain bright swimsuits. Bring dark or old swimwear.

🥾

Waterproof Boots

It is going to rain on your trip. Do not bring white sneakers. Bring proper, waterproof Gore-Tex hiking boots.

🛡️ Assicurazione Viaggio Consigliata

Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
