Funchal
Madeira's capital spreads up the slopes above an Atlantic bay. Come for a walkable mix of historic streets, museums and gardens, with viewpoints that reveal the city's amphitheatre shape.
Funchal brings Madeira's urban history and dramatic setting into the same outing. Start near the waterfront, then follow the streets uphill to see how the city climbs around the bay. Its monuments, museums and gardens make it a useful choice when you want several contrasting stops in one area.
