Azores (Bradt Travel Guides)

Save your money and search “azores São Miguel itinerary” instead. There are several very good blog posts that would show up at the top of your search. I bought this book before my trip to Sao Miguel, I like to do a lot of research before I travel! This book is very general and does not mention or emphasize some of the most amazing sights I’ve seen on Sao Miguel. Unfortunately, there is no good travel guide on Azores yet, but thankfully there is Internet and travel blogs! I may return to this book if I decide to go back to Azores and see other islands, but São Miguel part wasn’t organized very well for me to plan my trip day by day or in an order that makes the most sense given the location or time of the day/week etc....

The maps were useful, and several of the viewpoints and attractions were listed. This guide could have used more hotel and restaurant listings. Because hiking is so popular in the Azores, it also could have listed more of the popular hikes, since they likely don't change from year to year. Still, it was good enough to help us see some main sights; really worth 3.5 stars.

Best of the available guides, and fairly detailed. A good planning tool.

Great overview of the Azores. My husband and I stayed in Terceira and we visited all of the restaurants, tourist areas, etc listed in the guide and they were exactly as described.

We stayed in San Miguel and found that the book flipped from region to region without any consistency. Great information when you found the town or attraction, but difficult to use.

The Azores seeing a big building, modernizing boom. Unique to land locked Portugal, go to many islands, all unique. Me, Faial, Pico and Sau Miguel. Such treasures. The book a little dated, BUT VERY HELPFUL

Guidebooks just feel obsolete nowadays... While we appreciated the background info, the more practical bits we're often outdated compared to what is found online.

The guidebook provides very current (Nov '16) information of high quality, which will be very helpful during our planned week in the Azores in April '17.

Excellent book, covering all major aspects of the Azores islands that we are presently visiting.Restaurant recommendations so far all accurate.Suggested tours are well described.A very good guide for first time visitors.

Had some useful tips, and quite up to date. The Azores is a strange place though, lots of little islands and so it wasn't completely detailed. Some descriptions / reviews seemed a bit more upbeat and positive than was strictly accurate

best guide of the Azorres on the market

I've only recently discovered Bradt travel guides but I love them! Really well laid out and packed full of useful info. If you're a Lonely Planet reader, these follow much the same structure.

Lots of good info
