For cheap flights and decent weather, May or September are solid compromises. Winter (December–February) usually has cheaper flights and fewer tourists, though expect more rain and wind. December is brilliant for green landscapes and bargain deals.

Azores has 9 volcanic islands. São Miguel (where Ponta Delgada airport sits) is most visited. Walk around Lagoa de Santiago, swim in thermal springs, visit Lago das Sete Cidades with its stunning views. Santa Maria has beaches; Terceira holds historic towns.
