Faial Island is located in the central group of the Azores archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean. The currency used in Faial Island is the Euro. Faial Island is known for its stunning landscapes, including the iconic Capelinhos Volcano and the lush greenery of Caldeira. The island also boasts a rich maritime history, with the city of Horta being a popular stop for sailors crossing the Atlantic. Visitors can enjoy fresh seafood, colorful houses, and vibrant street art in this charming destination.
When to visit
The best time to visit Faial Island is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is warm and sunny. However, spring and fall are also great times to visit as the temperatures are mild and there are fewer tourists. Winter can be rainy and windy, but it is still possible to explore the island's attractions.

Taxis are also available for shorter trips, and there is a bus service that connects the main towns. Walking and cycling are popular ways to explore the island, especially in the more rural areas.
Traveller tips
Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Capelinhos Volcano and learn about its eruption in the 1950s. Try the local specialty, 'lapas' (limpets), a delicious seafood dish. Visit the marina in Horta and see the colorful paintings on the marina walls left by visiting sailors. Take a boat tour to see whales and dolphins in the surrounding waters. Pack layers as the weather in Faial Island can change quickly. Be sure to sample the local cheeses and wines during your visit.
