I like to visit this quaint little island. I like to walk around, look at all of the yachts in the port, go to Peter Sport Café and shop. It's called Horta which means garden and it's lovely.

The harbour is painted with calling cards from all over the world - if you like boats you will love a stroll around the harbour. May eateries and coffee shops are in Horta... take your pick. Most are good. The architecture is stunning in places,...More

Horta is a great place to visit and a good base for exploring Faial island. Although the island has lots of attractions, the town itself offers many fun experiences as well. With its lovely, relaxed marina and great architecture packed with history this town is...More

During Semana do Mar week in early August the town is busy with people. At night the seafront is full of eating areas and the stages have music acts.
