Back to Madeira
Madeira’s vibrant capital features a historic town boasting lush gardens and picturesque cobbled streets.
While spectacular mountain scenes, outdoor pool vibes and colourful festivals take the lead, a pretty promenade leads its visitors to a set of four lovely black sand and pebble beaches around a half hours stroll from town.
Sightseers love the 15th-century cathedral and dainty churches, thrill seekers are found surfing or paragliding the coast, kids adore spotting dolphins and whales on boat trips from the harbour, while shopping centres are favoured by souvenir hunters and shopaholics.
But whatever’s on the itinerary, the mouth-watering mix of Portuguese and African flavours that involve plenty of fresh seafood are a firm favourite! There’s an unexpected line-up of elegant restaurants, bars and clubs to discover as the sun goes down, so whether you’re sipping cocktails in a fashionable eatery along the sophisticated marina or hitting the hip club scene, where DJs and live bands keep everyone on their toes till the early hours, there’s no shortage of fun in Funchal!
