WHAT YOU VISIT
Funchal by Hop-On, Hop-Off Double Decker Bus
The flexibility of this Hop-On Hop-Off excursion allows you the freedom to discover Funchal at your leisure and create your own itinerary. The detailed, comprehensive map allows you to hop on and off at more than 24 different stops. Some of the highlights include Pico dos Barcelos Viewpoint; here you can hop off and take photos of the panoramic views. Another photo gem awaits at Câmara de Lobos, a picturesque fishing village that exudes authenticity and charm. Nature enthusiasts will find tranquility in the Santa Catrina Park, while history and architecture fans will be drawn to Old Town with its impressive cathedral and Bordal Embroidery Factory. As a special bonus, this unique experience also offers a sip of Madeira wine at the 200-year-old Blandy's Wine Lodge.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Rising 355 meters (1,164 feet), Pico dos Barcelos Viewpoint boasts sweeping views of Medeira's capital city, the bay and surrounding mountains. While strolling through Old Town, focus your lens on the Cathedral of Funchal. Erected in 1514, the Gothic and Romanesque architectural facade has been restored and the interior includes gilded sculptures, painted panels and carved wood elements.
LUNCH
If you work up an appetite, purchase local favorites like "espada," a delicious fish dish or "espetada," garlic-marinated beef grilled on a skewer. Those with a sweet tooth may like to try "queijadas," a small cake made of cottage cheese, eggs and sugar, or passion fruit pudding.
