No visit to Funchal would be complete without traversing one of the many tunnels that riddle this island, often humorously referred to as the “Swiss Cheese Island.” Your tour will also encompass notable landmarks such as the Cathedral, the charming Town Hall Square, and the Municipal Garden, which boasts an impressive array of unique and vibrant flowers.

Churchill’s Bay Tour – 1 hour
If you’re drawn to mesmerizing sea views and yearn to explore the natural beauty of Madeira, head west to the charming village of Câmara de Lobos. This historical fishing village, one of the island’s earliest settlements, gets its name from the abundance of sea wolves (seals) that once graced its shores at the time of the Portuguese arrival to Madeira.
Your adventure commences near the CR7 hotel, and you’ll follow Avenida do Infante until you reach the awe-inspiring Estrada Monumental, aptly named the “Monumental Road.” This picturesque coastal route will treat your senses to the invigorating scent of the sea, and you’ll feel like a seasoned sailor, comfortably navigating our chatty electric car. With the wind tousling your hair and its clever banter and tunes in your ears, you’re in for a delightful journey.
As you traverse the landscape, our animated car will regale you with tales of Madeira’s history and fascinating anecdotes that you won’t soon forget. It will also expertly guide you to this hidden gem that even inspired Winston Churchill to immortalize its beauty on canvas.
On your return trip, you’ll encounter glimpses of traditional agriculture, sprawling banana tree fields, and the renowned Lido, the real gem of a beach in Funchal. All the while, you’ll struggle to resist the temptation to halt and capture countless snapshots of the breathtaking vistas along this route.
