We have an itinerary for you for three full days to learn get to know the best places to visit in madeira. If you have more time, take a levada trip or take one or more days to visit the island of Porto Santo.  

If there is one island that occupies the first place on most people's travel list, it is Madeira. One of the most beautiful islands in the world, where temperatures are mild all year round and the sea waters are well tempered. Visiting Madeira is like traveling to a world apart. Ready to discover it?  

First of all, start from the airport with the Guerin car that you previously rented. Now everything is ready to start. Have a first encounter with Madeira's traditions and culture as you stroll through downtown and the old part of Funchal. 

After a 30-minute drive, you will arrive at the Miradouro da Eira do Serrado. From here you will be able to admire Curral das Freiras, a small village situated in a deep valley, with one of the most breathtaking views on the island.  

Monte can be reached by cable car, and for those who like adrenaline, it can be reached in basket cars. While you are there, take the opportunity to visit the Quinta Jardins do Imperador, the Monte Palace Tropical Garden and take a glimpse of the view that promises.  

The last stop of the day will also be the place where you will have dinner. At the unmissable Pastelaria Santo António in the Câmara de Lobos strait, the specialty is the espetada on a laurel stick. After dinner, take a walk around Câmara de Lobos and find out why it is a mandatory stop. It will be remembered for its bay and its colorful boats. 

To stay, choose between the modern lines of the Praça Amarela apartments or the refinement and elegance of the Quintinha de São João. 

The second day begins at the highest cape in Europe, which in itself makes the Cabo Girão lookout point quite famous. To make it even more irreverent, it has a suspended glass platform, only for the most fearless.  

Next, take a drive to the Boca da Encumeada viewpoint, where you can enjoy magnificent views of the Ribeira Brava and São Vicente valleys.  

Head towards Porto Moniz. In its natural pools you will find the ideal place for a dip in salt water. Here, where the sea naturally enters, the volcanic rocks embellish the panorama.  

In Seixal, besides the natural pools, you can also contemplate some waterfalls. The best known, the Véu da Noiva waterfall, deserves a longer stop.  

From Porto Moniz, head up towards Paúl da Serra. The scenery is slightly different from what we are used to in Madeira. It is the flattest spot on the whole island. Here, many unforgettable walks start through the levadas (old channels that carried water from the north to the south of the island), especially in the Rabaçal area. 

After a hike, there is nothing like replenishing your energy. Head in the direction of Ponta do Sol and stay for dinner and overnight, respectively, at the Hotel da Vila Restaurant and the Estalagem da Ponta do Sol.  

We start the last day at the second highest peak of Madeira Island, at the viewpoint Pico do Arieiro. Besides the fantastic view, the sensation is that you are in the clouds.  

On arrival at Ribeiro Frio, admire the views from the Miradouro Balcões, accessible via a hike. Ribeiro Frio is a popular stop for locals and tourists because of the trout farm pools and fascinating nature trails. 

Head down to the center of Santana, a municipality that was considered a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, and get to know one of the most emblematic tourist areas on the island of Madeira. This, because of the Typical Houses Nucleus of Santana. Don't you know it? If we tell you they are the famous triangular houses with thatched roofs, you will recognize them quickly. Also make a stop at the Madeira thematic park. Here you will find everything about the history, science and tradition of this archipelago.  

Before arriving at Ponta de São Lourenço, make a stop in Caniçal for a snack at the Muralhas Restaurant. At Ponta de São Lourenço, the easternmost point of Madeira, you will find unforgettable panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. 

To end your trip on a high, Quinta do Lorde Resort & Marina is an excellent option for an overnight stay.  

A trip which, in itself, is already unforgettable. In the company of Guerin, it becomes even more special. Guerin is the place to rent cars. Just pick up yours at Funchal airport. Now everything is ready for the adventure to begin. Enjoy, not only for sightseeing, but also to recharge your batteries in this unique subtropical climate. Learn more about car rental in funchal.
