Local Attractions
Madeira is a safe haven from today's modern society. Just a short traveling distance from most European major cities, the island offers superb accommodation, fantastic scenery and an escape from all that is unpleasant in the coastal mass-tourism.
Think outdoorsy experiences with a few cultural twists and you’ll be right on the money with Madeira. This lush little island is known for its sub-tropical climate and botanical gardens, while its mighty mountain landscape is made for all sorts of sports both on and off dry land. Although there are a fair few laid-back lidos when it’s time for taking it easy. But let’s talk food and drink. Dishes like garlic-basted espetada kebabs grilled over hot coals, honey cake and sweet malmsey wine are local legends, so be sure to tuck in. Fancy afternoon tea, chic bars and boutique shopping? Colourful capital, Funchal, delivers on that front.
Madeira’s extreme east is a nature reserve with immense volcanic rocks that are streaked with reddish hues. It’s a hike worth doing for the moving views of the Atlantic and for photos that look like the ends of the Earth. If you have a head for heights then visit Cabo Girão a platform that overhangs the edge of the cliff and has glass floor tiles that give you a clear, dizzying view to the ocean far below. Following the route of an old steam railway line is a modern cable car system whisking you up from Almirante Reis to Funchal’s upper suburb of Monte. On the northern lower reaches of the Pico Ruivo there’s an enchanting subtropical laurel forest. Madeira has emerged as one of Europe’s diving destinations of choice, due to high water clarity and low fluctuation in temperatures. Kids will love Santa Maria de Colombo Boat trip and the Madeira Theme park.
