PR1 Vereda do Areeiro
Hiking area
👍👍 One of the best hikes of Madeira and quite strenuous as well with steep inclines and declines. People who are fearful of height shouldn’t attempt it or should do it with caution. Since this is a very popular hike, it gets really really busy so to avoid the crowd suggest to start early. We started at...

Restaurante Santo António
Traditional restaurant
👍👍 The food and service are really good. The meat is moist and tender. The corn cubes are a treat.
We had two skewers and a couple sides; small is not small at all. Big portions, big skewers and all are tasty and not that expensive.
50 bucks including drinks… what an awesome place.
The drive up to t...

Miradouro Eira do Serrado
Observation deck
👍👍 One of the most beautiful spots of the island. Extremely nice, but difficult access for the brave.
I do not recommend it when you are driving the first day on Madeira. Food, souvenir shops, and viewpoint.

Cabo Girão Skywalk
Observation deck
👍👍 This cliff is worth visiting which can be seen from most spots in Funchal. The platform hanging above the abyss has a glass floor, so some people's hearts can beat a bit faster. Free entrance and parking. Stunning view of the coast.

Sorrento Pizzaria
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 Really excellent pizza - light, fresh, and everything pizza should be! This is a down-to-earth and quiet venue serving a small but well-executed menu. The house red wine is the best wine I’ve had in Madeira! My request to slightly adapt a pizza topping was perfectly accommodated by our lovely Ukrain...

The streets are displayed with different art work that uses recycled materials like plastic. This place is where Churchill spend a number o...

O Lagar
Restaurant
👍👍 Amazing food, especially the espetada (skewered beef) and the lapas grelhadas (grilled limpets). The prices are very reasonable and there's parking under the restaurant. The bolo do caco wasn't the best, very dry. The poncha is definitely worth ordering.

Miradouro Cruz da Caldeira
Portuguese restaurant
😐 The food was great, customer service so-so. The menu is extremely simplistic, I just chose 'chicken' (literally what it says on the menu without clarifying how is it prepared) and let them surprise me with whatever chicken they want. It ended up being good though.
