Madeira is an archipelago consisting of four islands that are situated in the North Atlantic Ocean between Portugal and Morocco. It is one of the world’s leading island destinations due to its perennial summer climate, sandy beaches, and unique natural lava pools that are found islandwide.
There’s so much to see and do in Madeira that you will need to pack a bigger suitcase. Funchal, the capital of Madeira, exudes an old-town charm, which is especially visible in the Monte Palace Tropical Garden, which features a good collection of exotic plants. Do remember to try out the unique Monte Toboggan Ride hauled by local sleigh drivers, which was a common form of downhill transport for the locals in the past. If you are planning a well-deserved long break on the islands, check out our list of the top long-term rentals in Madeira, Portugal, for appropriate accommodations.
