Funchal: Madeira’s Elegant Capital
Funchal, founded in the early 15th century, grew from a small settlement surrounded by fennel plants (hence its name “funcho”) into a bustling maritime hub. Today, it’s an enchanting city known for its elegant boulevards, historic architecture, botanical gardens, bustling market halls, and lively festivals, most notably the famous Madeira Flower Festival and New Year’s Eve fireworks—among the most spectacular in the world.
Visitors are drawn to its unique blend of Portuguese tradition and subtropical beauty. The city offers a rich cultural experience through landmarks like the Sé Cathedral, the Madeira Story Centre, and the vibrant Mercado dos Lavradores (Farmers’ Market), as well as stunning nature escapes like the Monte Palace Tropical Garden and the dramatic coastal cliffs at Cabo Girão.
