Product Description
Illustrated with colour photographs and delicate line drawings by Czech artist Hedvika Fraser, this fourth edition tempts travellers across the Atlantic Ocean to these remote islands. Glittering blue coastlines and spectacular volcanic landscapes characterise this archipelago that erupted from beneath the ocean some five million years ago. Fully updated, Bradt's bestselling Azores provides practical information and unparalleled features on culture, history and festivals. The best walks are described along with information on where to eat and sleep and how to get around. Take a magical tour discovering Europe's westernmost coast – the island of Flores; visit Europe's only tea plantations; explore the hot springs and gurgling mud pools of Furnas.

As a Rough Guide fan I found this book to have plenty of pictures! It is also very good quality, and its content is more than adequate. Certainly the best guide to the Azores that I could find, although perhaps that isn't saying very much. Pretty much my last six trips have been to places where Bradt guides were the best or only option. Only Namibia had much alternative reasonable choice. And this guide, like the others, is well researched, readable, and pretty accurate. Therefore I recommend the book as well as the publisher/series.

Like I have reviewed in other Bradt guides, I wish they would offer a few more pictures and definitely pics of each islands beauty. Also, the maps could be a bit larger and maybe in color. Of the choices available.....very few, this is the best choice, so far.

We found this a very useful book. Although we weren't expecting it our tour operator Sunvil very kindly sent us a branded version for free a few weeks before we went. So if you book your holiday through Sunvil I'd hold fire and save some money to spend on this other helpful guide: Azores: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes)
By sussing out the local buses and using the walks in these books rather than going on an organised trip we saved a fortune. Travel firms will try to charge you £50 a head for the same walks.

Brady Travel Guide of The Azores
Very good overall. Possibly a bit light on the specifics of each island, for intance if one hires a car and wants to go on a tour right around an island like Faial.

Good coverage but very poorly organised
This seems to be the best guide to the Azores available, and it does provide good coverage of the islands (we visited 6 of them). Read more
