Funchal Cable Car

The blue of the sky and the sea, the orange of the rooftops, the green of Nature: Funchal's cable cars allow you to contemplate the city from a unique point of view.

Try to visualise a garden city planted on a hillside facing the sea. Now, imagine yourself contemplating this Atlantic capital from above, a few metres off the ground. This is precisely the experience visitors can have by taking a cable car ride in Funchal.

Once in the air, this means of transport becomes a moving panoramic viewpoint. The view you get from one of the cable cars in Madeira is invariably dominated by the colours that define this seaside garden: the blue of the sky, which blends on the horizon with the blue of the Atlantic, the green of the island's tropical flora and the orange of the rooftops that sprinkle almost the entire hillside.

Madeira's various cable cars became much more than mere transport infrastructures. Nowadays, they are authentic tourist attractions, sought after by a multitude of visitors who want to enjoy this memorable experience. With the privilege of being a little closer to the sky, they can then safely and peacefully contemplate the rugged profile of this volcanic island. The Funchal Cable Car and the Botanical Garden Cable Car, which connect the city of Funchal to the parish of Monte, are a must on any tour around the island of Madeira. Come and discover them!
