Overview
Discover Horta beyond the postcards on a relaxed walking tour led by a local guide from Faial.
Starting near the famous Peter Café Sport and Horta Marina, we will explore the stories that shaped this small Atlantic city and made it an important meeting point between Europe, America and the sea.
Along the way, you will discover Horta’s historic fort, the legacy of the transatlantic telegraph cables, the old foreign cable-company neighbourhoods, local churches and landmarks, volcanic and earthquake history, the Municipal Market and the colourful Marina.
More than a list of monuments, this experience is about understanding how people lived, travelled and connected through Horta, while also hearing local stories and recommendations for enjoying Faial today.
The tour is relaxed, personal and suitable for travellers who want to understand the city rather than simply walk through it.
