Summer is ideal if you don't mind sharing the islands with more visitors. Check fares regularly: prices drop in low season.

From here you have world-class hiking (Caldera of Sete Cidades, Pico da Vara), thermal baths in Furnas, spectacular viewpoints and botanical gardens. The archipelago is perfect for nature, whale watching and getting away from the noise. Spend at least 3–4 days exploring the main island.
