Ponta Delgada Travel Forum

We, along with a small group of our friends, (2000!) will be arriving in your city, via a transatlantic cruise this spring. Our experience has shown us that we can accomplish twice the adventure of a ship excursion if we just follow the locals’ advice.

1. How far is the cruise ship dock from the center of the city? What forms of transportation are available?

2. Unfortunately our visit is short. What activities would you recommend to acquaint visitors with your city in hopes of possibly returning? Are there any daily local markets? What are some short sightseeing possibilities?

3. We would prefer not to return to the ship for lunch. Any recommendations for lunch with a local flair? Maybe some seafood.

4. And finally we shouldn’t return to the ship empty-handed. What local treasures must one purchase?

Hi all 2000 people!!!! I was in Ponta Delgada in August. I have already built my page. But I will tell a very active VT member in Ponta Delgada to write to you

Hello!
You can reach the city centre easily on foot! It is very close, about 1km.
When you arrive at the port, you will see a tall building called SOLMAR. Inside this building you will find a commercial centre (small) and facing the street there are cafés and a supermarket.
Please, see my page about Ponta Delgada and, if you need mor information, don't hesitate to write to me.
