Go in the morning for best photographs and to get ahead of most visitors (sun at back). If you can't walk very far or are short of time, don't park in the parking lot by the main road. If the gate is open, drive in and follow the dirt road that everyone is hiking along to the very base of the ridge where the trail goes uphill to the actual "miradouro"/viewpoint. There is room for several cars there. The view is amazing. If you have bad knees, bring trekking poles. It's about 5 minutes uphill to the viewpoint, depending on your uphill capability.

This is a must do on a trip to Sao Miguel. Make sure you've got enough days on the island to see this on a clear or at least semi clear day. This is a popular place, be prepared for crowds. There are several different parking lots and bathrooms. If you're agile, you can go to the top of the abandoned hotel. The views from up there are even better. But, you are trespassing and it's definitely not a place I would bring small children. This is a jaw dropping view and one you won't see every day. Snap a few photos, then just stand in awe.

This is a must see attraction while visiting the Azores. Grounds are very well maintained and inside of church is beautiful. This was one spot I definitely had on my must see list

I visited the church of Saint Nicholas during a tour while on a repositioning Holland America cruise in April 2018. This adorable town church is located in Sete Cidades, Portugal. It is also the burial place of Eduardo Tavares. Please go inside if you get the chance to visit this small town.

I won’t retread the other reviews – just to say that as of today there is no sign of any construction having taken place yet, nor any security or other staff on site. The easiest way I found to get in was a small path through the bushes across the road from the eastern end of the first car park you reach when approaching from the south – the one with the souvenir and food trucks. It takes you inside right next to the main gates, and doesn’t involve any climbing at all. Aside from that there are a couple of places further round where the wall is low enough to climb over. All the parking close by is 20 mins max, but that clearly wasn’t being enforced today. If you’re into this sort of thing it’s absolutely still worth a visit – and maybe the perfect introduction to urban exploration.
