Whats the best time to visit the island? We get this question a lot! Weather in the Azores can be anything and everything all year round, although neither too cold nor hot, it can be rainy, sunny, gloomy, foggy, windy, glorious, a drama queen and full of rainbows, a chameleon every day but definitely humid all the time. Both the High Season (March-September) and the Low Season (October-February) have their charms. Starting in May flowers start blooming everywhere, restaurants will return to their normal schedules after the low season, the ocean will get smoother and warmer, also prices will become more expensive for rentals, accommodation and flights. From October onward the greens are even greener, thermal pools will be perfect, hiking trails and viewpoints will not be crowded and of course prices will be more friendly. It can rain, be foggy or sunny at any time. So our question really is not when will you come but for how many days will you stay. You should allow a minimum of 7 days for your vacation, so you can play along with the weather so that a rainy or foggy day will not set you back. Sometimes one part of the island is rainy and the other is sunny, so having time also allows you the flexibility to not follow a set plan. Cars rentals are usually cheap in the low season (October - February) and expensive in the high season (March-September), so if you are coming during the high season we suggest you book in advance. Thermal pools are open all year round, and for Caldeira Velha specifically, it’s advisable to book admission online at least a day in advance. Restaurants will be very busy in the High Season and many of them will have long periods during low season, so it’s always good to plan your meals by checking their schedules beforehand.
