Question 1

How do I get there?

Accepted Answer

Out of the Blue is located at Rua do Boavista 38, 9500-035 Ponta Delgada. We are the building next to the big circle sculpture – you can't miss us!
 
From the airport
Our island is small, and thankfully, it is only a short journey from the airport to Out of the Blue.

The easiest and most convenient way is to take a taxi. It's a 10-minute ride which costs €10 paid in cash to the driver.

Question 2

Parking

Accepted Answer

Good luck. Okay, but seriously...
 
Street Parking
There is limited free street parking near the hostel on our narrow streets but if you are lucky you can snag one. Please be mindful not to park in front of garages and doorways. Parking on the sidewalk in front of the hostel is not allowed.
 
Be careful as not all street parking is free, look out for the big "P"! Having said that, it's not too expensive at 6€ a day. Parking is free 7pm-8am weekdays, 1pm-8am Saturdays and free on Sundays.
 
Parking Lots
There are several throughout the city, some are free and others are metered. Find the closest free of charge on the map below.

Question 3

Are you close to the city center?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are the perfect distance! Far enough away from the noise but only a few minutes walk from the action!

Question 4

How easy is it to get around?

Accepted Answer

We are a small city so everything is a comfortable walking distance. 
 
In terms of viewing the rest of the island, transportation can be a bit more limited. There are bus systems but not all of them run frequently. 
 
Exploring On Your Own
Your best option is either renting a car, motorcycle, scooter, or if you are a real adventurer, a bike. 
 
Group Excursions
Why not sign-up for one or more of our tours. We take small groups around the island on various adventures. It's the best way to meet new people and experience our beautiful island. Plus we know all the best spots! Contact us to find out more :)
