Red and Blue Essentials

It's easy to get lost in Funchal's jigsaw-like jumble of cobbled streets – so a great way to explore is with a city sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus ticket. The Blue Line Iconic circuit ticks off top sights like the exotic gardens of Monte Palace, as well as the ‘Painted Doors' art project in Funchal's old town and the produce-packed farmer's market. You can opt for the Red and Blue Essentials ticket for all the main sites, plus a guided walking tour that takes in the Marina, São Lourenço Fortress and the market.
