Funchal Essentials Free Tour

Overview of the tour in Funchal

Since its early settlement, Funchal has been the most populated area of Madeira. It became home to one of our discoverers and various foreign communities. Religion has always played a significant role in the lives of the Portuguese, with several religious orders settling in Madeira to support the Catholic souls of the island. The Privateer Attack on Madeira in 1566 profoundly shaped our history, leading to the planned defense of Funchal.

Join us on this Funchal Free Walking Tour (Essentials) to learn about this and much more! Highlights include:
