Description

Embark on a journey through the 600-year-old city starting from your hotel or cruise ship, seated comfortably in a sidecar guided by a knowledgeable local. Wind through the narrow streets of the Old Town and historical center as your driver shares insights into Funchal's past, lifestyle, and iconic landmarks, including defensive fortresses erected to thwart pirate raids. Your journey will highlight significant monuments such as Museu das Cruzes (Gonçalves Zarco's first house), the convent of Santa Clara, the main Cathedral, the Jesuits Church, the Municipal Square and Garden, and the City Hall building, once the residence of Conde de Carvalhal. Capture the essence of Funchal with ample photo opportunities, from the charming painted doors and walls of the Old Town to the rugged beauty of the mountain-carved roads. As you traverse the city, marvel at the breathtaking vistas of Funchal's eastern bay, offering stunning ocean views that encapsulate the city's coastal allure.
