Description

NO TOURS ON MARCH 14TH AT 9.30, FROM JUNE 2ND TO JUNE 12TH AND JULY 15TH AS I WILL NOT BE IN MADEIRA

Since early in the settlement of Madeira, Funchal has been the most populated area of Madeira.

It became the home of one of our Discoverers and home to different foreign communities that settled in Madeira.

Religion has always played a very important role in the lives of Portuguese people and various religious orders settled in Madeira as well to bring comfort to the Catholic souls of the Island.

The Privateer Attack on Madeira in 1566 shaped our history profoundly as it was only after this event that the defence of Funchal was planned.

Join us on the Funchal Essential Free Tour to learn about this and much more!

We do not go to the Old Town on this tour!

These are the Funchal's Essentials Tour highlights:

Parque Santa Catarina;
Municipal Garden;
Cathedral;
Biscuits' Factory (closed on weekends and holidays);
Municipal Square;
São Pedro's Historical Centre;
English Church.

The Funchal Essentials Free Tour takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9.30 am and 2.30 pm and Saturdays at 2

30 pm

The commentary on these tours is in English.

Some places might be added or excluded depending on the days, the group's pace and interest.

Funchal is a hilly place, so there will be some stairs to go up and down during the tour.

This tour is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
