6 days in Funchal Itinerary

The capital of the island of Madeira for more than 500 years, Funchal represents a laid-back city made popular by its historical sites and climate.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Climbing Tours and Pico Ruivo. Step out of Funchal to go to Santana and see Levada Caldeirao Verde, which is approximately 46 minutes away. There's lots more to do: do sightseeing your way with Madeira Sidecar Tours, let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour, get great views at Balcoes de Ribeiro Frio, and go for a walk through Santa Maria Street.
