ann_avdonina Azores travel GUIDE and hacks below⬇️ The most iconic view in the Azores? You’re looking at it❤️

📍Miradouro da Vista do Rei is the perfect first stop on São Miguel Island.
Here you get a breathtaking view over Sete Cidades — twin volcanic lakes, one green, one blue, nestled in a massive crater.

What else to see nearby (all within 1 day):

🌿Lagoa das Sete Cidades — you can drive down and rent a kayak or paddleboard on the lake.
🌿Miradouro da Boca do Inferno — famous trail with a cinematic viewpoint (short 20-min hike).
🌿Lagoa de Santiago — deep green volcanic lake right next to Vista do Rei.
🌿Lagoas Empadadas & Lagoa Rasa — peaceful forest lakes between hills, perfect for a short walk.
🌿Miradouro das Cumeeiras — lesser-known viewpoint with sweeping views over the Sete Cidades caldera — quieter and just as stunning.

Pro tip:
Best time to visit - morning (less crowded) or golden hour
Access - easy drive + 1 min walk from parking (no hike this time)
📍Monte Palace Hotel Ruins — for the wild rooftop views (abandoned 5-star hotel with creepy vibes and no official access, but you can try, just be careful).

ann_avdonina 🌿🪻Catch the Wisteria Bloom at Lake Como - Plan Your Spring Escape

When to Go: The wisteria usually starts blooming in mid to late April (depends on the weather).

For the best spots, visit:
- the gardens of Villa Monastero and villa Cipressi in Varenna
- stroll through Bellagio’s lakeside promenades
- Villa Carlotta (Tremezzo) - a botanical paradise in full spring bloom
- lakeside cascading wisteria ( on the way from Villa Carlotta to Cadenabbia) - Fioritura glicini (the name of location at GoogleMaps)

Travel Tip:
Visit in the early morning for soft light, fewer crowds, and peaceful strolls under the blossoms — ideal for photos and quiet moments💜

But it’s not just the wisteria — the entire lake comes alive. Azaleas, camellias, magnolias, and cherry blossoms paint the landscape in vibrant colors, making this one of the most beautiful times to visit🥰

ann_avdonina How to do it:
⛴️Public ferries: Easy + affordable.
🚤Private boats: Rent with or without a captain. Great for photos + hidden spots.

We went for public ferries and they aren’t just budget-friendly — it’s one of the best ways to truly experience the lake🩵
And the best part? You can grab a day pass and hop on/off as much as you like!

Which ticket to choose?
There are several zones, depending on how far you want to go:

▶️Central Lake Pass – €15 (our choice).
Unlimited rides between: Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio, Lenno, Tremezzo, Cadenabbia - most scenic + perfect for a full day of exploring.

▶️Other zones (North, South, Cross-lake)
For longer rides or travel to/from Como city — prices vary.

Where to buy?
🎟️ At ferry docks
💻 Or online: navigazionelaghi.it
