Funchal Old Town

Located in downtown Funchal, Zona Velha do Funchal is a historical area of architectural and heritage value: its alleys, sidewalks, churches and facades. It is estimated to have been one of the first populated areas, assuming a prominent role in the city's development. However, after being restructured, it became a bohemian spot and a reference place of choice for many Madeirans.

The charms of the historical remains mix with relaxation in the bars and restaurants that bring the Old Town to life. But it is not just dinners and drinks that sustain it. You can enjoy places with an alternative, artistic and cultural nature, namely, enter Capela do Corpo Santo, visit Fortaleza de Santiago, Story Centre Museum, Contemporary Art Museum and Electricity Museum. It is also here that the famous Mercado dos Lavradores is and from where the cable car to Monte parish leaves.

Without a doubt, a point of interest for anyone visiting Funchal!
