The cobblestone streets of Old Town are lined with inviting cafés and shops selling handmade crafts, from intricate embroidery to locally produced cheese. The Euro is the currency of choice, and while cards are widely accepted, it’s wise to carry small bills for smaller vendors. Whether you’re winding down with a coffee at a seaside café or browsing for souvenirs, the warm hospitality of the Azores makes every moment here feel like a treasure. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** EUR (Euro) - **Language:** Portuguese - **Timezone:** Atlantic/Azores - **Tipping:** 5-10% at restaurants ## Location Coordinates: 38.7150, -27.0530 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Praia%20da%20Vitoria/@38.715,-27.05304,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Praia%20da%20Vitoria&ll=38.715,-27.05304&z=13) ## Things to Do in Praia da Vitoria Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~11h port call.
