How to make the most of Madeira by car

We begin our trip in the captivating capital, Funchal. This vibrant and picturesque city will welcome you with open arms.

Upon reaching the top, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the ocean and the mountains surrounding the island. After this experience, visit the Funchal Botanical Garden, an oasis of natural beauty with a great variety of exotic flowers and plants. Stroll through its trails and discover the rich flora that Madeira has to offer.


The best sights in Madeira

The next stop on the route is Cabo Girão. This cliff, one of the highest in Europe, will take your breath away. Get ready for spectacular views of the ocean and terraced vineyards as you feel the thrill of being on top of the world. Don't forget your camera, as this will be one of those moments you will want to capture forever.

After seeing this breathtaking scenery, continue to Câmara de Lobos, a fishing village that will captivate you with its traditional charm. Here you can walk through its narrow cobblestone streets, admire the colorful houses and the authenticity of local life.

The next stop on this wonderful route is Porto Moniz. In this beautiful place you will find natural pools formed by volcanic lava, which will give you the opportunity to take a dip in crystal clear waters surrounded by impressive cliffs. Is there anything more refreshing than swimming in the most natural surroundings? Besides having a wonderful time, of course.


Discover the most picturesque houses in Madeira

The charming village of Santana, located in the northeast of the island, stands out for its famous traditional houses, known as "A-frame houses". These picturesque houses, with their triangular thatched roofs, are a true symbol of the island's culture and heritage. Stroll through the streets of the village and let yourself be carried away by the magic of this unique place.

The north coast of Madeira has one of the most beautiful roads in the world: the ER101. This winding route will take you through forests and along cliffs. You will enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Stop at the viewpoints along the way to enjoy the views and take pictures, driving along this road will be an unforgettable experience!


Nature in its purest form

If you are a nature lover, you cannot miss a visit to the Madeira Natural Park. Go to the center of the island and immerse yourself in a breathtaking natural environment. Here you will find many hiking trails that will take you through forests, majestic waterfalls and mountainous landscapes.

The famous Pico Ruivo, Madeira's highest peak, offers spectacular panoramic views if you are up for a demanding hike. However, if you want to enjoy the comfort of your car, simply driving along the roads that pass through the park will give you an unparalleled visual spectacle.

Finally, we recommend exploring the south coast. Drive to Machico, a picturesque coastal town with a beautiful beach and a rich history. From here, you can continue to Ponta de São Lourenço, a nature reserve with steep cliffs and wild beauty to round off your visit to the island.
