Funchal is the capital of Madeira and the main gateway to the island, via Cristiano Ronaldo Airport or the port, one of the most sought-after by cruise ships in the Atlantic.

In the historic centre, the Old Town preserves narrow streets and doors painted by local artists. The Farmers’ Market brings together tropical fruits, flowers and fresh fish every morning.

It is also the starting point of the cable car that goes up to Monte, from where one traditionally descends in the Carros de Cesto, one of the island’s most well-known experiences.
