The largest city in Portugal's Autonomous Region of Madeira, Funchal is the 6th largest in Portugal. The city has a rich cultural and historical past. It was named so by the first settlers after the wild fennel that grew in abundance there.
The best way to experience the picturesque city of Funchal is with an open-top bus tour. Visit the Pico dos Barcelos, Madeira Wine Lodge, Quinta Magnolia, and much, much more. You can even combine a visit to Cabo Girao and Camara de Lobos with a Yellow Bus hop-on hop-off Funchal. It’s one of the best things to do in Funchal if you’re looking for a little adventure. Listen to running audio commentary available on the bus in more than 12 languages. And get the most out of your sightseeing trip by eliminating the hassle of figuring out your own transportation.
Funchal bus tours allow you to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. You can do this as many times as you like within your ticket limit. And a final top tip; why not make a whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, so you can get familiar with the city and pick out your favourite places to visit and then return to them during your stay?!
