Cabo Girao & Old Town Walking Tour
Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your excursion begins at the pier where you'll board your motorcoach and travel through Funchal. Pass the picturesque fishing village of Camara de Lobos, a favorite haunt of Sir Winston Churchill's in the 1950s, en route to Cabo Girao.
Travel past vineyards, terraced fields, and pinewoods and eucalyptus groves to the cliff top of Cabo Girao. This second-highest sea cliff in the world is a sheer drop of over 1,500 feet from the top to the waves below. The viewpoint affords dramatic views of the coast and Funchal in the distance.
Return to Funchal via the viewpoint of Pico dos Barcelos for panoramic views of Funchal with its red-tiled roofs.
Visit on foot the Old Town of Funchal, that was the first Portuguese neighborhood outside the European Continent. Right away, a community of fishermen and seafarers was created. The Old Town of Funchal got to the beginning of the 21st Century as the area to avoid. Thanks to people with knowledge of other Old Towns in Europe and with a great vision, Zona Velha do Funchal has gained a new face, a new dynamic and today, it is a mandatory place to visit, not only for visitors, but also for locals. Beautiful painted doors with art make Rua Santa Maria and the Old Town a unique outdoor gallery.
Continue to a embroidery shop where you'll learn that hand-stitched embroidery has long been one of Madeira's exports, and is as acclaimed as the island's wine.
