🥾 Hiking: Hiking in Madeira is a must, especially hiking the levadas, which are one of the highlights of the island. Some of the most prominent hiking trails are the hike to Pico Ruivo, Levada das 25 Fontes and Vereda da Ponta de Sao Lourenco…
🏖️ Beaching: Madeira is known for its fine sandy beaches, so going to the beach is sort of a must-do while on the island. Some of the best beaches for sunbathing are Machico, Formosa and Calheta beach, which have nice sandy beaches 🌅
🚡 Cable car: Cable cars in Madeira are incredibly convenient if you want to overcome some hills of the island. Some of the best cable car rides are those of Funchal and that of Achada da Cruz, which gives access to the most remote village on the island.
🛷 Toboggan ride: If you want to have some fun that would rush your adrenaline, then try the traditional Toboggan ride. In the past, Madeirans have been using these sledges to get fast to the city center through the hills. Nowadays, it is used only for fun, but it can be quite dangerous as there are lots of cars driving through those streets… 🤷
🐋 Whale and Dolphin Watching Tours: Just like the Azores, Madeira provides the perfect opportunity to all of its visitors to observe the marine life up-close. Thus, make sure to get on a boat and sail away into the deep ocean and explore all it has to offer.
🌄 Sightseeing: The island of Madeira has lots to offer in terms of sightseeing. If you want to explore the old town of Funchal, it is best to do it with a local guide, so you can learn more about the city. There are lots of museums, churches, palaces and gardens to explore, so make sure to have enough time for all of them. Near Funchal is also Cabo Girão, which is the highest cape in Europe with 580 meters of elevation…
