Map of the Azores

The Azores are located in the Atlantic Ocean and belong to Portugal. The archipelago consists of nine larger islands, with São Miguel being the largest and most visited. The capital, Ponta Delgada, is often the starting point for trips to the Azores.

On the map you can see how the Azores are located west of the Portuguese mainland. Their location in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean makes the islands unique, with volcanic nature, coastal roads, viewpoints and small communities scattered between mountains, lakes and sea.
