Teleférico do Funchal (Funchal Cable Car)
Best time to visit
Early morning offers the clearest skies and softer light for photos, with shorter queues. Late afternoon gives warm golden light over the coast, but can be windier.
Budget tips
Expect a return ticket for adults around €16–€20, children and seniors have reduced fares; single-way tickets are cheaper. Look for combined cable car + Monte Palace tickets or buy online for timed slots to avoid queues and sometimes save a few euros.

About
クイックファクト: Gliding over terraced gardens and eucalyptus-scented slopes, the panoramic cabins climb roughly 560 meters, rewarding riders with expansive ocean views and endless photo opportunities. Quiet, smooth and surprisingly serene, the journey lets you spot parrots, fishermen and patchwork rooftops while feeling briefly suspended above a lush, sunlit landscape.
Insider tips
- Arrive 30 minutes before your preferred time, especially on cruise-ship days, to avoid long queues.
- Sit on the right side going uphill for the best bay and city views, and on the left when descending for ocean panoramas.
- Bring a light windproof jacket and sunglasses, higher altitude can be noticeably cooler and breezy.
- Combine the ride with a visit to Monte Palace Tropical Garden or book a return by toboggan later to make the most of the trip.
