Funchal
Madeira is a land of scenic walking trails, lush levadas, and sweeping ocean views. Along the way, you’ll uncover charming villages, vibrant botanical gardens, and natural volcanic pools. Tropical fruits such as passion fruit, bananas, and custard apples bring a fresh, exotic taste to island life.
At its heart lies Funchal, the lively capital. Stroll through colourful markets, wander historic streets, and enjoy the bustle of the marina. Taste local favourites like bolo do caco with garlic butter, espada with banana, and a glass of Madeira wine, all while soaking up the island’s traditions and festive spirit.
