Funchal Holidays Resort Guide

Funchal, Portugal, is situated near the seaside and is the capital city, and on the southern coast of, the island of Madeira. Funchal, a city for five centuries, has an 18th century town hall and historic churches, as well as the usual supermarkets and souvenir shops, at which you and your Family can happily spend away. But although the overall Funchal atmosphere is more relaxing than bustling, the city is also a nightlife capital, with a casino and the best in nighttime entertainment, clubs and bars. By day, there are also cafes, coffee shops and restaurants to consider, serving delectable seafood dishes straight from Funchal’s harbour. Funchal holidays are even a top choice for high culture. With so many major museums and art galleries within such a compact area, as well as the botanical gardens, children (and big kids!) alike will be kept easily amused.

Should lushly mountainous and forested Madeira and its sheer walkability not satisfy you, you could always just take a bus or cable car from Funchal, in order to get a taste of the sights slightly further afield. These include Monte village, a garden lover’s paradise a few miles to the north, and yet another attraction of a cheap Funchal holiday. There’s no doubt that Funchal weather conditions are favourable, too, with the temperature never dropping much below the 15-39 Celsius mark throughout the year. There’s even, just to the west of the centre of Funchal, a Blue Flag accredited cobble-strewn beach, black and sandy and offering an array of activities and water sports, at Praia Formosa.
