Funchal Monte and Nuns Valley from the west
+5 photos
A laidback stroll through Funchal's Old Town sets the tone, with its painted doors, narrow streets and lively market adding plenty of charm. Then, the route climbs to Monte for 360‑degree views, a look at the former estate of a wealthy Portuguese family and a visit to the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Monte, resting place of Emperor Karl I. The tour wraps up with a scenic drive through eucalyptus forests to Eira do Serrado, where a 600-metre viewpoint reveals Nun's Valley below – a spot some believe to be an ancient volcanic crater.
