Holidays in Funchal
Madeira's capital, Funchal, is a cosmopolitan port town located in a lush valley with an impressive backdrop of volcanic mountains.
The town centre is home to fabulous 16th century buildings, old squares and colonial mansions jostling side by side with modern developments.
Funchal’s cobbled streets wind up into the hills where you’ll find art galleries, antique shops, botanical gardens and wine shops where you can sample the famous Madeiran wines.
The main tourist area is located west of the city centre at Funchal Lido, offering a range of shops, restaurants and cafes.
Funchal's port provides a stop for cruise ships and a short walk from the port brings you to the old part of town, which comes to life in the evening with an abundance of cafes and restaurants offering alfresco dining.
