With 3 days in Madeira, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. What makes Madeira special is how much wild landscape sits within an hour of your hotel. Hundreds of kilometres of levadas, the narrow irrigation channels carved into the mountainsides since the 15th century, double as gently graded footpaths into mossy valleys and past waterfalls.
Warum Madeira Besuchen
Hike above the clouds on the ridge between Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo, one of the most spectacular day hikes in Europe.
Enjoy a mild climate all year, with winter days that are usually warm enough to sit outside and swim in sheltered lava pools.
Taste Madeira wine in historic lodges in Funchal and learn why this fortified wine can age for more than a century.
