Portugal (Madeira), 8 Days · Tailor-made by car
Choosing Madeira as a destination for your holiday is already a surefire success, but kicking it off in Funchal makes it even more special. The capital of the island, which will be your base camp for the first few days, gives an insight into the culture, cuisine and people of Madeira. The "Madeira: the extraordinary island" tour will showcase its luscious landscapes, steep streets and beautiful beaches. You'll also like Monte, one of the most traditional districts of Funchal and home to the Monte Palace Tropical Garden and the cable car that offers unrivalled views of the area. The city also boasts a wealth of cultural options, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Blandy's Wine Lodge and the museum dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's most famous footballer. Outside Funchal, you'll come closer to the earth's core than ever before in São Vicente or enjoy a dip in a volcanic pool in Porto Moniz. You'll feel at one with nature in Santo da Serra and in Ribeiro Frio, home to a nature park embraced by native vegetation and surrounded by majestic mountains. We've planned out a relaxing road trip without long periods at the wheel. This means you can travel at your own pace and stop off wherever you fancy, taking in the host of attractions that have made this Portuguese paradise so famous.

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
