Reaching the museum from Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação is manageable by road, and Ponta Delgada itself is the island's main hub. The islands are served by direct flights from Lisbon, Porto and other European cities, with smaller aircraft linking islands within a group.
Weekday afternoon opening suits a quieter visit, and the surrounding volcanic landscape of crater lakes, hot springs and steep coastal cliffs gives the island its character. Whale-watching trips from several ports regularly sight sperm whales, dolphins and Cory's shearwater.
