Itinerary

Located on a large slope facing the Atlantic and shaped like a natural amphitheatre, Funchal is Madeira’s largest tourist, commercial, and cultural centre. Funchal is known to be one of the most picturesque cities in Europe. Renowned for its gorgeous gardens, historic sites, and stunning ocean views, Funchal is a must-visit when in Madeira. Hop aboard the 24-hour Hop On Hop Off Funchal bus tour and prepare to experience Funchal's attractions and discover some of the island’s most fascinating sights. The Funchal Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour offers an excellent way to explore the stunning city of Funchal. This tour allows visitors to see the city’s top attractions at their own pace. Enjoy multilingual audio commentary onboard, offering insights into Funchal's history and culture.
The adventure begins at Funchal's most important avenue, the vibrant Avenida do Mar. Here, you can admire row upon row of luxury yachts at Funchal Marina, set against the backdrop of the beautiful cobalt waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Make a stop in the quaint fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, where terracotta-roofed, whitewashed buildings create postcard-perfect scenes. In the distance, Cabo Girão, the highest sea cliff in Europe, rises over 500 meters tall. Winston Churchill once traveled to this traditional town to paint its picturesque landscapes and enjoy the tranquility.
As the bus takes you from a relaxing atmosphere to an exhilarating one, you will arrive at Pico dos Barcelos. Madeira is renowned for its "miradouros," or viewpoints, and Pico dos Barcelos is among the best on the island. With panoramic vistas of the city and sweeping views of the Bay of Funchal, be sure to bring your camera to capture those essential holiday memories. Another charming spot to visit is Praça de Povo; this elegant, flower-lined promenade is perfect for strolling with an ice cream in hand while taking in the views of the ocean, mountains, marina, and Funchal itself.
If you are looking for a new and exciting holiday beverage, the Madeira Wine Lodge is a must-visit. Here, you can take a tour of one of the city's best wineries and enjoy swirling, sniffing, sipping, and savoring centuries of winemaking tradition! For those keen on heights, hop off at the Teleférico, Funchal’s cable car. As you ascend, take a moment to appreciate the spectacular colors of this unique island: the lush green of Madeira's tropical vegetation, the deep blue of the wild North Atlantic, and the vibrant orange of the traditional rooftops dotting the hillside. It truly is remarkable. Also, enjoy a free walking tour included with your ticket to explore the hidden corners of Funchal on foot, which is not accessible by bus. Explore Funchal at your own pace with this flexible Hop-On Hop-Off Funchal bus tour.
