Creator's Key Takeaways

Portugal is one of our favorite countries. We've been to almost 40 countries now and Portugal is one of our top two or three countries, if not our top country.

This might be one of those ports, one of those places where you do want to spend a few days rather than a few hours.

I love it here. I don't know if it's just being back into Portugal or whatever. I just love the feeling, the vibe.

We've never experienced that before. We've always been able to use our cards pretty much everywhere.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring cash as some local vendors may not accept credit cards.
βœ“Consider staying in Ponta Delgada for a few days to fully experience the Azores.
βœ“Explore beyond the main tourist areas to find local gems.

YouTube Video Description↓

We returned to Ponta Delgada on a cruise to see if this beautiful port stop is as good as we remembered. When you only have one day in the Azores, you need to make it count - so is wandering the town of Ponta Delgada the best use of your limited time? In this video, we’re taking you off the ship and into the capital city of SΓ£o Miguel. Since this was our second time visiting, we skipped the expensive shore excursions to show you exactly what you can see, eat, and do on your own, right near the cruise terminal. If you have an upcoming cruise stop in the Azores and want to know if you should book a tour or just enjoy the city, this guide will help you decide! ⬇️Top EXCURSIONS Ponta Delgada: πŸ‘‡ MORE CRUISE PORT GUIDES: ● https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNmogcEYSgyKh6qj_4C-p6YOAn880UK8k&si=ImBgtXb9Gi_LFD2P πŸ‘‡ MORE PORTUGAL VIDEOS: ● https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNmogcEYSgyLU7D11TyTXi2QHscufxSWw&si=CYD8E2_-N4sTFGhP #PontaDelgada #Azores #PortugalTravel #SaoMiguel #BudgetTravel #BrianAndCarrie 🟒 SAVE MONEY HOUSE-SITTING: https://trustedhousesitters.pxf.io/2aEeEG 🌟 FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: https://brianandcarrie.myflodesk.com/newsletter βœ… BUDGET TRAVEL PLANNER: https://carrie-s-site-6fbd.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/travel-budgeting-digital-download ➑️ OUR TOP TRAVEL TOOLS: ● Travel Insurance: https://safetywing.com/nomad-insurance/?referenceID=brianandcarrie&utm_source=brianandcarrie&utm_medium=Ambassador ● VPN we use and trust: https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=d4bfb5df-f0c4-499b-bbb0-4734c69aa265&website_id=07ce4335-e112-4c0a-932c-33a2e51dc93e&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnordvpn.com ❀️ HOW TO FOLLOW US AND SUPPORT OUR CHANNEL β€’ Buy us a Beer (helps us to continue to produce videos): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brianandcarrie1 β€’ PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/brianandcarrieyt β€’ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnGnMmPuHG31D2vyneTu45A β€’ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/brian.andcarrie β€’ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/brianandcarrie21/ β€’ JOIN OUR TRAVEL COMMUNITY: https://patreon.com/brianandcarrie?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink ✨ TRAVEL TIPS β€’ FREE ACCOMMODATIONS CHECKLIST: https://brianandcarrie.myflodesk.com/airbnbchecklist β€’ FREE PACKING LIST: https://brianandcarrie.myflodesk.com/packinglist β€’ WEBSITE https://www.brianandcarrietravels.com/ β€’ Join our Travel Community: https://patreon.com/brianandcarrie?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
