Madeira
If you visit Madeira for 4 days, you will most certainly want to return
to get to know it even better and explore every corner of this paradise.
Ideally, one or two weeks would be the recommended length of stay,
so that you can visit the archipelago’s main points of interest in a leisurely
fashion.
From mountains to gardens, valleys and beaches, not forgetting the golden
island of Porto Santo, there are many attractions to discover.
To help you to get the most out of your stay, we have prepared this
itinerary. Get to know some of the main places of interest in Madeira and
enjoy your holidays to the fullest.
We suggest various alternative routes, so that you can choose according
to your own preferences. These can also be selected according to
weather conditions or the time of year. Despite Madeira enjoying a mild
climate throughout the year, the weather can be variable through the day
depending on your location, so therefore you might encounter the four
seasons in a single day.
The different altitudes on this volcanic island partly contribute to these
variations. This is just one of the many characteristics that make this island
so authentic, and you can adapt your activities (sea, land or air) to the local
weather conditions.
We also recommend some footpaths classified as PR - Pequenas Rotas
(short routes), which are less than 30 km long. These walking trails are
classified in order for walkers to have an idea of what to expect on each,
prior to departure. They are maintained, inspected and signposted by
regional public entities, in particular the IFCN - Institute for Forests and
Nature Conservation, in the interests of guaranteeing your safety. Hikers
are recommended to take part in programmes organised by tourist
operators and guides.
Hiking without the assistance of local guides and operators is not
recommended. We suggest you consult the safety measures on the
website www.visitmadeira.pt.
In this short guide, we propose a visit to the capital, Funchal, and to the
west and east coasts of Madeira. If you are a fan of idyllic beaches and
breath-taking landscapes, we also suggest a day trip to the island of Porto
Santo. You could change this day for one of the three initial days or add
a fourth day to your trip; the choice is yours.

Funchal is situated on the south coast of the island of Madeira, around a
20-minute drive from the airport. Capital of the region, known for its en-
chanting bay, lit by the sun and embraced by high, verdant mountains,
long shoreline and blooming gardens.
It is simply unforgettable.
Discover the downtown area walking past its emblematic buildings.
Avenida Arriaga is one of the most dynamic areas of Funchal and offers
direct access to the Municipal Garden, the Municipal Theatre, the Cathe-
dral, the Adegas de S. Francisco - Madeira Wine Lodges, in addition to
cafes and terraces.
Visit Largo do Colégio, the church of São João Evangelista, the Jesuit
College and the Museum of Sacred Art. Head for the Cruzes viewpoint,
to admire spectacular views over the city. If you would like to see what
an old Funchal manor house looks like, then, pay a visit to Quinta das
Cruzes Museum or to the Frederico de Freitas House-Museum. You can
contemplate a wide-ranging collection of art from the 16th century in the
Museum of Sacred Art, or get to know the history of Madeira in a 30-min-
ute film at the Madeira Film Experience, along Avenida do Mar, in the
Marina Shopping Centre.

Morning
At Avenida do Mar, you can discover the city’s old pier, Praça CR7, the
Marina and
Pontinha
(city pier). Enjoy the views from the city pier, the
sea, sailboats and cruise ships. In Praça CR7 visitors will also find the
statue and museum of the famous Madeiran footballer, Cristiano Ron-
aldo. From here, you can climb to Santa Catarina Park to relax in one
of the finest parks in the city, or visit the gardens of Quinta Vigia, which
offer stunning views across Funchal bay. You can also choose to go on

Discover the Old Town and the Mercado dos Lavradores (Farmers’
Market), where you can find some of the most emblematic flowers of
Madeira, such as birds of paradise, orchids and proteas, as well as typ-
ical products of the region. Here, the traditional flower stalls, full of lively
colours and joy, are a sight to behold. Walk along Rua de Santa Maria
and lose yourself in this labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, where you
may want to take a break for lunch.
Here you will also find the “Open Doors Art” Project, which, thanks to the
work of local artists, has transformed the doors of Rua de Santa Maria
(and other streets nearby) into an “art gallery.”
