Tour Description

Madeira is the summit of a huge volcano on the Atlantic floor that is happily long extinct. It's an island of heights and slopes, then! You may discover some of the hidden gems of Funchal by travelling up and inland on our Blue Line route.

 

Funchal's Monte neighbourhood is well-known for its serene streets and lovely gardens. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy every possible shade of green in Monte Municipal Park. This park is the tallest on the island and was constructed in the 19th century. It's the ideal location for escaping the heat on a hot summer day
