What to expect

For a Funchal walking tour, it'd be tough to find a better guide than a student of Madeira University's Heritage program. Hear tales of the island's past as you see the centuries-old cathedral, the historic Jesuits' College and visit both the City of Sugar Museum and Blandy Wine Lodge – testaments to the important wine and sugar industries here.

There's a trip to the colonial-style City Hall – located on an optically challenging two-toned mosaicked esplanade – before finding out about the history of Madeira's trade in ‘white gold' with a visit to the City of Sugar museum.

Then, after a guided tour of the Jesuit College, enjoy exploring the wonderfully ornate Funchal Cathedral. Last but not least, it's on to the renowned Blandy Madeira Wine Lodge for a tasting of delicious local wines.

Levada da Silveira hiking tour
Activities

Levada da Silveira hiking tour

Follow the smell of eucalyptus and wild herbs as you hike along the Levada da Silveira. As you walk the 9.5-kilometre trail, you'll be rewarded with a canopy of greenery in the Laurissilva Forest before the path opens out onto views over the town of Santana. Other hikes on the island offer big, busy, dramatic experiences, but this levada is all about the cool, calm and more subtle side of the island, with fewer crowds jostling for the same view. It's a moderate trail that takes around four hours and is ideal if you're a nature lover who's happy with heights and a short tunnel section.

Madeira tailored tuk-tuk taxi tour from Funchal six hours

Madeira tailored tuk-tuk taxi tour from Funchal six hours

Make light work of Funchal's steep and narrow streets as your driver weaves through them in a nippy little tukxi – a motorised tuk-tuk taxi. But you can go so much further than the city on your three, four or even six-hour adventure. The options to personalise your journey are endless. Heading west, you could take a slow-paced scenic tour to the fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, the sea cliffs and glass skywalk of Cabo Girão, or the vineyards of Fajã dos Padres. For some mountain air, you could head north to find the Botanical Gardens, the historic hill village of Monte and views of the dramatic Nuns' Valley. Chat to your driver to help tailor your own memorable Madeiran daytrip.
