There are no luxury hotels on the island. The infrastructure is not very developed here. However, there are many small hotels and guest houses here. If you are not looking for evening shows, animation, and all-inclusive holidays, you will surely find a suitable hotel at an affordable price.
It will be better to move around the island by taxi or hitchhiking. It's pretty safe here. There are also buses here. However, they are not very suitable for tourists. They run between the main localities of the city.
There are no counters in the taxi. The price is usually calculated based on the time or distance of the trip. Note that the distance is always counted in both ways. It will be better to specify the cost and conditions of the trip in advance. For example, if you are planning a long trip, you will most likely pay for the taxi driver's lunch.
You can rent a car or scooter. It will be better to book a car in advance in the season because the demand is quite large.
Steamboats and boats run between the islands exactly on schedule. For example, a boat departs from Faial to Pico 4 times a day.
