描述
Discover the charm of Funchal with a walking tour of its picturesque streets, rich in history and culture, and a visit to the Monte Palace Botanical Garden by cable car from the city center.
Explore the city of Funchal on a walking tour through its historic and scenic streets. The tour begins in the heart of the city, where you can admire colonial buildings and cobblestone streets. The first stop is the Mercado dos Lavradores, a vibrant and colorful market where exotic fruits, flowers, and fresh fish are displayed in lively stalls. Here you can discover the local flavors and aromas, with the chance to buy some typical island products.
Continuing to Sé Cathedral, you will discover one of Funchal's most iconic monuments, built in the 15th century, a mix of Gothic and Moorish styles. Then, walking toward the coast, you'll come across the São Tiago Fortress, an imposing historic structure that now houses a contemporary art gallery. Along the way, you'll be surprised by the artistic doors of the "Art of Open Doors" project, which transform the entrances of houses into colorful works of art.
The second part of the tour includes an exciting experience: you will board the cable car to Monte, a neighborhood located 600 meters above sea level. The cable car offers breathtaking views of Funchal Bay and the mountains surrounding the city, a 15-minute ride that will make you appreciate Madeira's natural beauty from above.
When you arrive in Monte, the wonderful Monte Palace Tropical Garden, one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Europe, awaits you. Here you can stroll among an incredible variety of exotic plants from around the world, with ponds, waterfalls, and sculptures that make the place enchanting. Highlights include a collection of African sculptures and ceramic panels that tell the story of Portugal. There is no shortage of scenic areas from which to enjoy spectacular views of the city and the ocean.
For the descent, you'll have two options: return by cable car or try the distinctive descent in "carros de cesto," traditional wicker sleds driven down the steep streets of Monte, a unique and fun experience.
The tour ends with a relaxing stroll along Funchal's waterfront, where you can stop for coffee or a drink and enjoy the view of the Atlantic Ocean
