Funchal is a fascinating city located in a picturesque island, so there are plenty of activities. Begin your trip at Mote Palace Madeira, where you can walk around the lush plantations that grow from acid rock. Then head to Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte, which is a cathedral in the city that's impressive both inside and outside. Next up, hop in your hire car and drive to Pico di Arieiro, which is a mountain summit that offers great views across the island. This takes about 40 minutes by car to reach.
