The island of Madeira resembles a pearl in the North Atlantic Ocean with its picturesque villages and heavenly coastline. Treat yourself to a wonderful vacation in this haven of peace by renting a boat in Funchal, its extraordinarily beautiful capital. Beautiful walks and lovely surprises await you in these magical lands.
The cultural charm of the Canary Islands
Funchal is like one of those charming cities that are bathed in a cheerful atmosphere, especially during the festive season. Depending on the season, you can attend various culturally dynamic events. If you opt for a vacation in Funchal in the spring, you will be immersed in a particularly festive atmosphere during the famous flower festival. The carnival is also a colorful event not to be missed.
To stay in this jovial atmosphere, stroll through the typical Madeirine market, a pleasant meeting place in Madeira. You will be thrilled by the explosion of flavors, scents and colors at the Mercado dos Lavradores in Funchal. Then opt for a more poetic transition by strolling through one of Funchal's many gardens. These gardens have been awarded the title of "European Flowering City 2000".
Your stroll then continues to the Lido area of Funchal. At the far end of the Lido you will find the pleasant Praia de Formosa beach. During your vacation in Funchal, you will also have plenty of time to savor the island's culinary specialties in one of the many traditional restaurants along the Lido.
Fun activities around Madeira
Fortunately, you won't have to go to Funchal to find your happiness. The turquoise sea of Madeira has many other surprises in store for you. You can, for example, board your yacht, sailboat or catamaran and set off to discover the small islets surrounding the island. During this crossing, the children will be delighted to admire the frenzied dance of the cetaceans.
At the same time, water sports enthusiasts can enjoy exhilarating surfing, kitesurfing or scuba diving. If you feel like stretching your legs a little, you can even plan a short hike along the famous Levada trails!
