The harbor promenade of Funchal is very nice and clean. Unfortunately overrun by tourists in every season. In the shops and bars and cafes is Portuguese, English and sometimes German spoken, the prices are sometimes a bit overpriced. Funchal has a very nice old town. The narrow streets invite for a walk. Bus and taxi connections are available along the entire harbor promenade.

Monte Toboggan Ride

Highlight • Structure

This is where the most unique sleigh ride into the valley to Funchal starts. The idea for this came about in the 19th century as to how best to transport the products from the fields into the valley to Funchal for sale. So very sturdy wicker baskets were woven and fitted with runners. This meant that fruit and vegetables could be transported quickly and efficiently. Over time, these transport routes became too complicated and so rich Brits discovered this fun for themselves and rode down into the valley in the Tobbogans. Today, the basket sleigh ride is run professionally, and the fun for around 10 minutes costs up to €35 depending on how busy it is. If there are cruise ships in the harbor, there is no point in trying to quickly book a sleigh ride... the queue can easily be up to 2 hours long.

Church of St. John the Evangelist (College Church), Funchal

Highlight • Religious Site

The Igreja do Colégio belongs to a Jesuit school and has not been open all day. We were lucky and for the short wait we were rewarded with a huge church splendor in sight!
