The capital of the island of Madeira for more than 500 years, Funchal represents a laid-back city made popular by its historical sites and climate.Popular historic sites such as Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption and Santa Clara Convent are in your itinerary. Step out of the city life by going to 25 Fontes Falls and Levada do Risco. Go for a jaunt from Funchal to Ponta Do Sol to see Cais da Ponta do Sol about 44 minutes away. There's lots more to do: admire the natural beauty at Palheiro Gardens , pause for some serene contemplation at Holy Trinity Church, see the interesting displays at Frederico de Freitas Museum, and indulge your senses at Madeira Sidecar Tours.

Madeira Islands travel guide
A feast for the senses, the subtropical paradise of Madeira Islands draws nearly a million visitors annually. This Atlantic archipelago, known to many as the "Islands of Eternal Spring," lies some 850 km (530 mi) southwest of the Portuguese mainland. Volcanic in origin, the islands feature dense pine and laurel forests and richly cultivated mountain slopes. The two populated islands boast an extensive network of irrigation channels, bringing much-needed fresh water to the coastal farms and resorts. Hiking trails following these water channels make even the remotest areas accessible, beckoning to adventurous trekkers and impassioned nature lovers. Base your holiday in the city of Funchal, the archipelago's capital and biggest city.
