August 12, 2022,Madeira - Funchal 12.08.2022

Today Funchal was on the agenda. In order to avoid the search for a parking space, we drove up the mountain to the station of the Teleférico Jardim Botânico mountain railway and dropped off to Funchal. Strolled through the historic district. Did a bit of shopping and then drove back.
What I keep finding out... I don't need cities ☺️

Just saw, the pictures are a bit mixed up, that's because we walked past some places several times. 😒

Sorry, I overdid it a bit with the pictures today, but not even this amount of photos manages to reflect the variety of impressions of Madeira's capital!
Of course, 6km cable car ride must be deducted from the total distance...

I have added the name of the artists whenever I could. There are quite a few Arte Portas more along Rua Santa Maria.

On my second day in Funchal, I strolled around a bit. Took the cable car up to Monte. Watched the hustle and bustle at the ISO stop.
A quick stroll through the city.
Oh, lovely. 🤗🍻🙋

September 12, 2024,Mit der Seilbahn hoch nach Monte zum Tropical Garden

We actually wanted to visit the Botanical Garden as well as the Tropical Garden. However, the cable car was not running today due to strong winds, so we concentrated on the Tropical Garden. But there was a lot to marvel at here alone, in an area of 8 hectares. And the view from the cable car on the 15-minute ride …

At the beginning of our city tour of Funchal, we first enjoyed a tour on the replica of Columbus' Santa Maria, where we were also lucky enough to see some dolphins. We took the cable car to Monte and back.
