Funchal is the largest city, the municipal seat and the capital of Portugal's Autonomous Region of Madeira. The city has been the capital of Madeira for more than five centuries.
Cidade bonita, fresca, com ótimos locais de lazer. Promenade que nos leva às praias existentes ao longo da sua costa, incluindo a famosa Praia das Palmeiras, há vários anos detentora de Bandeira Azul!
Depois de uma longa e sinuosa subida, ultrapassamos as nuvens e fomos contemplados com uma bela vista panorâmica. Há duas trilhas para o pico do ruivo, ponto mais alto da Madeira.
Access from Pico do Arieiro after a great walk, or a quick walk from Achada do Teixeira. Why not try Quinta do Furão to recharge you batteries with a "meal with a view" 자세히 보기
There's lots of black sand here, just when you get into the water, so it's even better when it's "low" sea (don't know the right word, hope you understand, sorry)
Évitez la descente en trainau c'est un peu l'arnaque a touriste ; ça dure 5 min et ils vous laisse en haut de funchal, loin de tout, et seuls des taxis vous ramèneront en ville... Moyen!
A relaxing place with an amazing sea view! Enjoy a cup of tea while reading a book at the café.
Embora a Praia esteja fechada dispõe de um grande parque muito agradável e uma praia vizinha a poucos metros
Beautiful place full of color where farmers sell all kinds of fruits, vegetables, fish and flowers
Try the Ponca from the pirate ship at the beginning of the avenue. The stiffest Ponca for €2
Passeio bucólico com várias espécies de flores madeirenses além de um aviário com exemplares de todo o mundo. Vale a pena o passeio!
Don't miss this museum. On the upper floor there are lots of embalmed sea animals (birds and mammipheres). On the first floor there's a quite small aquarium that deserves to be visit anyhow.
A great place to have a coffe and relax.. Just avoid days like sunday if your not into families and kids hanging in the park, doga barking everywhere and a little bit of caos ;)
Try the Tea House on the right wing of the square. There's always good and fresh scones and a wide variety of teas and infusions.
Maják na tomto nejvýchodnějším cípu ostrova byl poprvé uveden do provozu už v roce 1886!
Magnifico local á beira mar com uma esplanada com vista para a marina e para o caniçal
Vale a pena a visita e uma paragem para apreciar a gastronomia broa de castanha ou broa de noz e mel com ginginha e licor de café (Curralpão é uma sugestão)
Visit the Rose Garden! "The Roseiral da Quinta do Arco is one of the largest collections of roses in Portugal. There are more than 17,000 plants", according to the World Federation of Rose Societies.
Only for the architecture of the building it would already deserve the visit. Exhibitions include one of the finest Art Déco collections in Europe, from the Berardo's Collection.
They are supposed to have WiFi here, but it hasn't been working for a while. The bar at the other end of the beach - Manel - does have working WiFi, so go there instead.
Stressed? Seat and watch in silence, forget the world outside. Oh, and buy a small stress ball to squeeze before you leave.
I suggest you use MAR, the Madeira shipping register at International Business Center, and use this lovely marina to have your boat on shore. You may also stay here in hotel or buy an appart here.
