Funchal is the capital of Madeira, the Portuguese island group in the Atlantic, and it sits on the island's southern coast in Europe. The city is set against a steep mountainous backdrop, with its streets climbing from the sea toward the green hills behind it.
What the visit offers
- A mild climate: the city is known for a spring-like climate through the year, which makes it a practical choice whatever the season.
- Botanical gardens: the gardens are among the city's best-known green spaces, and a natural place to slow down.
- Traditional toboggan rides: one of Funchal's distinctive experiences, linked to its hillside setting.
- Colourful markets: stalls filled with exotic flowers and tropical fruits give a lively sense of the island's produce.
- Madeira wine: the island's wine is a local speciality worth sampling.
Old town and marina
Funchal combines its historic old town with a modern marina. Wandering the older streets gives a sense of Portuguese heritage, while the waterfront shows a more contemporary side of the city. The two sit comfortably side by side, so a single day can move easily from history to the harbour.
Funchal suits visitors who want a city base with gardens, markets and mountain views close at hand, and an island setting that feels distinct from mainland Portugal.
