Getting Around

Download offline maps for navigation between islands. Google Maps works well in capital cities, but coverage may be limited on smaller islands. Plan your routes in advance.

Public Transport

Public transport is limited. Minibuses (aluguers) run between villages. Taxis and rental cars are often more practical.

Payments

Cash is most convenient, especially on smaller islands. ATMs have limited availability outside cities.
