Ponta Delgada
Portugal
À propos de Ponta Delgada
Ponta Delgada is the largest city and main gateway to the Azores, a mid-Atlantic archipelago known for its volcanic calderas, hot springs, whale watching, and exceptional natural scenery. The cruise pier is located right in the city center, within walking distance of the iconic three-arched Portas da Cidade gates and the historic old town. The island of São Miguel, on which Ponta Delgada sits, is home to the extraordinary Sete Cidades caldera — a pair of green and blue crater lakes easily visited on a half-day excursion.
