Funchal + Monte Palace Tour
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll start this walking tour of Funchal from the entrance to the Cristiano Ronaldo Museum. Although we won't visit its interior, we'll learn about the footballer's origins.
Next, we'll head into the historic centre of the capital of Madeira along Avenida Arriaga. This long boulevard will lead us to the cathedral, a 16th-century temple that combines Gothic, Manueline and Baroque styles. A symbol of the island's architecture!
We'll continue with a stroll through the Zona Velha, the historic centre of Funchal, visiting the Mercado dos Lavradores, one of the main markets in the city. We'll explore its different stalls to find out what are the most in-demand products, among which Madeira's typical products stand out.
After leaving the market behind, we'll head towards the station of the Funchal cable car. This means of transport, from whose cabins we'll enjoy beautiful views, will bring us up to Monte Palace. When we arrive at the summit, we'll visit the Tropical Garden, a big botanical park that is home to hundreds of plant species from all over the world.
During our tour of this bucolic space, we'll also visit its Japanese-inspired gardens, whose landscapes will transport us to the Far East. At the end of our visit to the park, we'll take the cable car back to the departure station in Funchal.
Next to this terminal is the Jardim do Almirante Reis, a beautiful park where we'll conclude this 4-hour tour of Funchal and Monte Palace.
