Porto Pim Beach

Highlight • Beach

Small cozy beach in Horta. In the evening it is quiet and relaxing.

Church of Our Lady of Sorrows

Highlight • Religious Site

The beautiful church of Nossa Senhora das Angústias is located on the south side of Horta and dates back to the 19th century.
Built over the previous Santa Cruz Chapel, built by the island's first colonists, almost exactly on the spot where the first mass was celebrated on the island after the first exploration ship landed. Due to its collapse, it was rebuilt around 1675. The current building was built at the beginning of the 19th century.

Horta Marina

Highlight • Structure

Horta is the typical port that yachtsmen call when you cross the Atlantic back to Europe in spring to do a few repairs on the ship before continuing. So there is a lot going on in the marina in April and May. But in contrast to the marinas in the Mediterranean Sea, here you can see no high-gloss polished but ocean-going yachts with one or the other traces of hard encounters with the sea.

Peter Café Sport

Highlight • Cafe

If you are a sailor and are coming in somewhere for the first time after a long stroke from the Caribbean, then you take care of your ship first, of course, but then the next action is to go over from the marina to the Café Sport and agree Treat yourself to a drink. This ritual is a tradition. And yes, of course, the whole sailing community meets in the café and everyone has a load of adventures to tell - a lot of seaman's yarn is spun, but still, it is part of it ...

Peter Café Sport, Horta

Highlight • Cafe

It is considered one of the most internationally famous cafes, especially as a meeting point for the global sailing scene.

The cafe is known for its history, its gin and tonics and its chocolate cake[2] and is considered a standard stopover for circumnavigators.

The Peter Café Sport is frequently mentioned by journalists and writers in their publications

all over the world. The American news magazine Newsweek listed the place among the best bars in the world.

Capelinhos Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Farol da Ponta dos Capelinhos is a former lighthouse in the municipality of Capelo in the west of the Azores island of Faial. Due to the volcanic eruption at Ponta dos Capelinhos, it had to be abandoned in October 1957. Today the lighthouse is the landmark of the visitor center at the Vulcão dos Capelinhos.

Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Center

Highlight • Monument

At the lighthouse of Capelinhos a remarkable visitor center has been set up, in which one can take a close look at the history of the Capelinhos. You can also learn a lot about other volcanoes such as Stromboli or Kilauea. An information center about the Azores and volcanism has been created underground with interesting architecture. I wish I could come here with my students. We don't have anything that great. Admission for adults EUR 10 (as of October 2021)
