MAH - Angra do Heroismo Museum
Museum
👍 A great museum if you're looking for a deep and complete review of the Terceira Island history. The entry fee is only €2, while you can easily spend more than 1 hour here. It details how the place started as a religious site and evolved over time until becoming the museum it is today. Definitely a p...

Centro Ambiental do Priolo
Natural history museum
👍👍 Cute little center to learn about Priolo! Very sweet people working there. They also do birding tours. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see a Priolo as it was really windy in the mountains. But I defiantly want to come back and do a tour again in the future :)

Arquipélago - Arts Center

👍👍 When in Ribeira Grande you should definitely visit this museum. It features contemporary art, mainly temporary exhibitions from Portuguese /Azorean artists. But also they museum itself is worth a visit. Entrance fee was 3€ in August 2019. You will also find a book store.

Museu do Tabaco
Museum
😠 They show you 2 barns where they used to dry the tobbacco. You see nothing from the cigars production or history of the factory. You can’t even buy any cigar. After the visit I found on the web that there is also factory part of the museum which they didn't show us even when I specifically asked for...

Red Peak Mill

👍👍 On our way to Sete Cidades we passed by a renovated mill - Moinho do Pico Vermelho - that attracted our eye with its vibrant colours. It’s been recently renovated and the contrast of the white walls with the red roof and sails is quite a vision on a Summer day.
It’s situated along the regional road,...
