The closest thing to the Garden of Eden, the Azore...

The closest thing to the Garden of Eden, the Azores are a Portuguese archipelago in the mid-atlantic that are perfect if you want to get away from it all and explore in the sun.



The largest and most populated island has a lot to offer, including city walks, nightlife and breathtaking views of Caldeira das Sete Cidades (above) and lagoa do fogo.

If you have more than a week to spend here, hop over to the other islands for more hikes and activities like canyoning and whale watching.

Best time to visit: May, June, September (peak season July & August)
