About the destination

When you arrive in Funchal, you're taken aback by its vastness. Houses upon houses rise from the sea, covering the entire natural amphitheatre that is Funchal. It's the main commercial, tourist and cultural hub of the island of Madeira. La Zona Velha, the city's old town, still maintains a vibrant local life of its own and is the most fashionable spot on the island. A wander through the narrow cobbled streets, with their intriguing little museums, shops and cafes, and a salty old port area, is a real treat. At night, the neighbourhood comes to life. The restaurants are chock-a-block and St. Mary Street becomes the gathering point for young folk ready for a good time. To appreciate the island's stunning flora, you don't need to leave Funchal. On the outskirts of the city, you'll find some magnificent gardens such as the Jardim Botânico, Quinta da Boa Vista, Palheiro Gardens and Monte Palace Tropical Gardens, accessible by cable car from Funchal centre. Some other interesting things to do and see include: The Mercado dos Lavradores, a vibrant market of fresh produce and crafts; the 15th-century cathedral; Quinta das Cruzes and the Adegas São Francisco wine cellars. There are plenty of reasons to love this bustling port city, which, despite its small size, has a lot to offer.
