Airport Car Hire
The capital of the Atlantic island of Madeira, Funchal receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Located on the southeastern part of the island, Funchal is both a hub from which the rest of Madeira can be explored and a fascinating city in its own right. These are three of its most interesting attractions:
- Architecture. Despite its relatively small size, Funchal is home to a wide variety of impressive buildings of different styles and epochs. These include the iconic Sé Cathedral, but also the São Lourenço Palace, the Jesuit Colegio Church, the São Tiago Fort which was built to repel pirates, and the Santa Clara Convent with its blue tiles.
- Gardens and parks. Funchal has a disproportionate amount of beautiful public green areas and it would be a shame not to explore at least some of them while in the city. The most famous, Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park, resembles a classical English park with long alleys and impressive gates and has a surprising variety of flora from around the world. Travellers also love the Madeira Botanical Garden and Monte Palace Hotel Gardens.
- Museums. While not as large and impressive as those of Lisbon or Porto, Funchal is home to some fascinating museums giving better insight into the traditions, art, and important historical industries of the island. These include the IBTAM Museum of Embroidery and Tapestry, Wine Museum, City of Sugar Museum, Museum of Sacred Art, and Museum of Natural History.

We toured beautiful Madeira island in a fabulous Renault Clio. Madeira is very mountainous with beautiful scenery. If you’re here definitely visit Ribiera Bravo, Calaheta. Jardiniere do Mar, paul do Mar and ponta Moniz on the north coast with the natural sea water pools. The Capital Funchal is busier but take the cable car to Monte, visit the gardens, enjoy the views, and come down on the toboggan😂 great fun

Consider where you are going to be staying. Use google maps streetview to see how wide the roads are, how steep, if there are lots of mile-long tunnels (if you go through a tunnel with the window up, to stop the pollution making you feel sick, then you will want air con in the summer months). This should help you decide which vehicle and functions suit your needs.
