Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Funchal - Red Route Ticket

The adventure starts at Funchal’s most important avenue, the vibrant Avenida do Mar, where you can ogle row upon row of luxury yachts at Funchal Marina with the backdrop of the cobalt waves of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.

Hop off at the quaint fishing village of Camara de Lobos for terracotta-rooved, whitewashed, postcard-perfect scenes. The highest sea cliff in Europe, Cabo Girão, over 500 metres tall, looms in the background. Winston Churchill used to travel to this traditional town to paint its pretty landscapes and enjoy the serenity.

Go from chill to thrill as the bus rolls up to Pico dos Barcelos. The marvellously mountainous Madeira is full of “miradouros”, or viewpoints, and Pico dos Barcelos is one of the best on the island. With panoramic vistas of the city and sweeping views of the Bay of Funchal, you’ll want to bring your camera to get those all-important holiday snaps.

Another of Madeira’s picturesque areas to hop off at is Praca de Povo. This elegant, flower-lined promenade is the perfect place to wander, ice cream in hand, and contemplate views of the ocean, the mountains, the marina and Funchal.

If you’re in search of a new, exciting holiday tipple, look no further than Madeira Wine Lodge, where you can take a tour of one of the city’s best wineries. Swirl, sniff, sip, and swill your way through centuries of vino tradition!

Those with a head for heights should hop off at the Teleférico, Funchal’s cable car. As you soar into the air, take a moment to appreciate the spectacular colours of this unique island: the green of Madeira’s tropical vegetation, the blue of the wild North Atlantic and the orange of its typical rooftops dotted all over the hillside. It really is remarkable.
