Funchal - Tour Audioguidato Autoguidato Gratuito

Begin above Funchal where the city curves like an amphitheater toward the Atlantic, then drift downhill through manor houses, hidden courtyards, and convent silence into the civic heart of Madeira’s capital. Along the way, carved stone, painted azulejos, and the scent of wine cellars reveal how a small island city became a crossroads of trade, faith, and travelers. The walk finishes in the Old Town’s lively lanes near the sea—perfect for a relaxed pause after the last stories. Tip: Start earlier for cooler air on the uphill sections and a calmer market visit. Some streets are cobbled and a few stretches have gentle steps, so comfortable shoes help; if you want fewer crowds, linger in gardens and church interiors during peak midday hours.
