Funchal Madeira: City Guide & Best Things To Do (2025)

Planning a trip to Madeira in 2025? This Funchal city guide shows you the best things to do in Madeira's vibrant capital! I share my experience exploring Funchal, which genuinely surprised me – it's way more than just a quiet cruise stop often portrayed. Join me on a journey through Funchal, Madeira's fascinating capital, in this 2025 travel guide! I share my genuine first impressions – honestly, the scale and energy of this city completely surprised me. We'll dive into the historic heart, the Old Town (Zona Velha), wandering its cobbled streets and taking in sights like the ancient Sé Cathedral with its incredible ceiling, the impressive Praça do Município square, and the colourful Forte de São Tiago standing guard by the sea. Discover the atmosphere of this unique part of the city. Beyond the Old Town, we explore Funchal's greener side in the lovely Jardim Municipal and Parque de Santa Catarina (great views!), check out the bustling harbour life, and stroll along the modern Praça do Povo waterfront. But getting around Madeira is part of the adventure! I'll share my experiences driving the island's crazy roads – the narrow city streets, the tunnels, the bridges – and why hiring a car here is surprisingly affordable and absolutely essential for exploring. Funchal makes for a perfect base camp, with most parts of the island reachable within about an hour. We'll also take a couple of short trips just outside the city: first to the iconic fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, famous for its colourful boats and connection to Churchill, and then to the authentic town of Ribeira Brava on the south coast, exploring its charming old town area. And stick around for a useful tip if you're an aviation enthusiast visiting Madeira Airport! This video aims to give you a real feel for Funchal and its surroundings, showcasing why it's so much more than just a starting point for your Madeira holiday or vacation.
