Cheap Flights to Funchal

Nestled on the hills of Madeira, Funchal is the capital of the archipelago and a beautiful city. Overlooking the Atlantic Sea, the city is renowned for its Madeira wine cellars, gardens, chequerboard squares and historic buildings. The 15th century Funchal Cathedral is worth a visit, with its mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles dating back to Madeira's colonisation. Overlooking the city's recently renewed harbour, the São Tiago Fortress was originally built during the 16th and 17th centuries to protect Madeira's coast from piracy, and today it hosts an art museum exhibiting a large collection of contemporary Portuguese works.

Enjoying a year-round warm climate, the city is a popular destination which retains its historic past while offering world-class hotels and excellent restaurants. Water sports include diving, surfing, swimming with dolphins and whale watching, while paragliding provides spectacular views. The city's top-class golf courses also provide wonderful vistas. Many annual festivals are held here, including the Wine Festival during August and September. The Madeira Flower Festival, held each spring, sees the streets adorned with flowers of every hue, while the annual Carnival is held 40 days before Easter with spectacular parades in the streets.

São Tiago Fortress sits right on the coast next to the harbour and was built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries to protect Madeira from pirate attacks. In 1992 it became home to the Contemporary Art Museum, displaying unique Madeiran and Portuguese art and is one of several art galleries in the city.
