Overview

Funchal is a charming sea town, renowned for its picturesque harbor, gardens and Madeira wine cellars. Its moderate subtropical weather, rich portuguese heritage, and of course, being Cristiano Ronaldo’s birthplace is the reason why it's famous among the tourists. Admire the 15th century-old Funchal Cathedral, designed in a Gothic style. Explore Praça do Colombo, a famous square set among colonial-style houses. As you stroll through the streets of Funchal, you will be fascinated by the old lanes, wide 20th-century boulevards, and the pretty squares.
