Madeira is a lush Portuguese island in the Atlantic, and Funchal is its capital, spilling down green hillsides to a harbour. Known as the island of eternal spring, it offers dramatic cliffs, subtropical gardens, and mild weather year-round. Ride the cable car up for sweeping views, then let the levada trails pull you deep into its emerald heart!
When to go
Spring and early autumn are ideal, with warm, comfortable temperatures and flowering gardens. The mild climate makes any season pleasant, though winter can bring rain to the north.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, Funchal means a transatlantic connection through Montreal or Toronto to Lisbon or Porto, then a short flight out to the island. Lisbon is the most common Portuguese gateway depending on your departure city.
What to see and do
- Riding the toboggan run down from Monte
- Walking the levada irrigation trails
- Exploring the Mercado dos Lavradores
- Taking the cable car to the Monte Palace gardens
Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro and tipping is modest and appreciated. In Funchal itself, buses and taxis get you around town easily, and Bolt runs on the island too, but a rental car really pays off for the mountainous interior, where roads are steep, narrow, and winding; agencies may add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s, so guided tours are a good car-free alternative, and mind the tight parking in the old town. Portuguese is spoken, though English is common in tourism, and the island is very safe and welcoming.
