Meeting people in Ponta Delgada, answered

How do I meet people in Ponta Delgada?

Pick something that repeats every week and go twice.

Can I go on my own?

Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.

I've just moved to Ponta Delgada. Where do I start?

Choose "I live here" above: your first month in Ponta Delgada, planned one week at a time, then the weekly nights, because going back is how strangers become friends.
