Madeira Island is known for its mild climate all year round.
Funchal is the capital of the archipelago (aerial photo shown). It is located on Madeira’s south coast, in a beautiful bay washed by the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by tall, green mountains and deep valleys.
Although Funchal is a city with many attractive features, be sure not to miss the many other interesting sites and activities in Madeira. You can reach any location in the island in 2 hours by car.
Perfect for relaxing and getting in touch with Nature. Very good hiking options, from easy to expert levels.
We recommend a visit of 7 days or longer.
Madeira is 1h 30m flight from Lisbon (TAP, SATA and Easyjet are the main airlines operating) .
