See Madeira from the ‘air’ and soak up the island’s extravagant natural beauty.

Journey into the picturesque old part of town and hop aboard the cable car for a trip through the amazing lush scenery, up the hillside from Funchal to Monte. There you’ll see the iconic twin-towered façade of the 18th-century Church of Our Lady of the Monte, the final resting place of Charles I, the last Austro-Hungarian emperor. Visit world-famous Madeira Botanical Garden and discover a profusion of plants and flowers, from around the globe. Wander around the terraces, herbarium and greenhouses, brimming with rare and indigenous plants, then take in magnificent views of Funchal from the Pico dos Barcelos Viewpoint.
