Funchal is the capital of Madeira and is quite spread out. Coming to this island is more about sightseeing and walking as there are no beaches to speak of here. Loads of great sites and try the wicker basket down the hill. Botantical gardens a must as is the old town and the flowrr markets. Lots of restaurants from the sophisticated, formal and expensive to the basic budget priced ones. Tour Operator: First Choice
