Step by step
How the journey works
Follow the legs in order, then use the official operator link for today’s timetable.
Board in
Ponta Delgada
Arrive at
Sete Cidades
Start on the Ponta Delgada seafront
Line 205 lists Forte S. Brás for departures from the city; 206 and 208 list Alfândega. Use the boarding stop shown in your chosen column.
Ride the western corridor to the caldera
205 runs via Candelária, 206 via Candelária and Mosteiros, and 208 via João Bom. Village stops include Igreja and Lagoas; these are not the Vista do Rei rim viewpoint.
Plan the return before you leave
Choose a return with times at both Sete Cidades and Ponta Delgada. A departure listed at Lagoas may finish short of the city; a dash means that stop is not served.

Good to know
- The 206 timetable marks some runs JS: June to September only. Do not carry those departures into an October plan.
- Allow separate travel for Vista do Rei and the rim viewpoints; guided crater trips can help when the bus plan does not fit.
- Read the weekday, Saturday or Sunday/holiday column and confirm the latest PDF before travel.
