Try the treats at the market

Funchal’s Mercado Dos Lavradores is a two story fresh food and produce market situated in a historic old building. Start at the bottom and take in the sights of the freshly caught fish and seafood, before making your way upstairs to marvel at the local fruit like Madeiran mangos, guava and passion fruit. Tastings are encouraged and there are also small cafes nearby if you’re looking to put your feet up. The market is open from Monday to Saturday with the best time to go early in the morning.

Ride the cable car

For a bird’s eye view of Funchal and the surrounding villages, ride a gondola up to Monte, where you can also walk around the Monte Palace Gardens and Church. Once a grand hotel, it’s now open to the public and is a pretty detour with a lake and Chinese Garden.
