Funchal is Madeira’s compact capital city. The surrounding hills afford spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and of the undulating countryside. Built for relaxing breaks, this historic town has a safe, easy-going feel and a sense of fun.

The city attracts all kinds of holidaymaker – couples and mature tourists will love the natural beauty, perfect for lazy strolls. Gentle evenings can be spent having a quiet drink or dining at an al fresco restaurant or café. At the same time, revellers will come for the all-night clubbing.

For culturally minded visitors, there are plenty of sights to take in. Funchal is easy to explore on foot and a mosey around the cobbled streets will reveal century-old cathedrals, churches and museums.

Sun-worshippers should head down to the area’s only beach at Praia Formose, which is made up of black sand and pebbles.

A spot of retail therapy will never be far from reach on a Funchal holiday, as there are some modern shopping areas and markets are held daily. Staying in the well-rounded capital is the perfect choice for a holiday in Madeira.
