Madeira travel guide · essential itinerary
Madeira brings together mountains and ocean, levadas, forests and welcoming towns on an island of intense landscapes. Seven days, without running Madeira requires choices: the distances seem short, but the mountain roads and changes in weather make it inadvisable to cross the island several times in the same day. Use Funchal as a starting point, but divide your stay between the coast, the mountains and the north of the island. Reserve separate days for the levadas, Pico do Areeiro and the natural pools.
