Holidays to Funchal

Take a last minute holiday to Funchal and discover a capital city with a long and fascinating history. Funchal is an impressive sight. Nestling in a natural ampitheatre, with emerald green hills towering 1,000 feet behind it, this city of stylish living and ancient traditions is unlike anywhere else we can think of. Funchal's prosperity came from its sugar trade, 500 years ago. Its 15th century old town ('Sugar Town') is an open-air museum of grand merchant's houses, elegant hotels and villas overlooking the sea. Here, in the atmospheric core of meandering streets, you'll find first class fish restaurants and bars serving that sweet fortified wine - so good the island gave its name to it. 

Package holidays to Funchal are becoming increasingly popular as people discover this island's rich, unique natural heritage. The ancient forest of Madeira (the 'Laurissilva') is the biggest and best preserved concentration of prehistoric woodland in Europe. The island's irrigated fields are ablaze all summer long with orchids while, in Funchal's busy harbour, you can stretch your legs along the prom, or stretch out and soak up the sun in the Lido. If you're after a refreshing island experience, we heartily recommend a cheap holiday to Funchal.
