What a mistake! You should know that it is the fourth year Madeira is Europe&#8217;s leading island destination. Despite this high appraisal, don&#8217;t be afraid of thousands of tourists. The island has lots of places where you can find yourself face to face with raw nature.<\/p>\n<p>So let me tell you about the fifth destination of my adventure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Madeira<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Madeira is an archipelago of four islands. Two of them are inhabited &#8211; Madeira island is the biggest and Porto Santo. You should know it is a Portuguese island, discovered in 1418.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_567\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-567\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-567\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l2a.jpg\" alt=\"Punta Sao Lorenzo - the easternmost point of the Madeira island\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l2a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l2a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l2a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Punta Sao Lorenzo &#8211; the easternmost point of the Madeira island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The best time to visit Madeira is from April to October. But the weather is beautiful all the time thanks to the Gulf Stream. It is never too hot and too cold here. Sounds incredible &#8211; 18-24 degrees Celcius 365 days per year. Lots of tourists come here for a retreat. But you will never see them &#8211; they stay at the hotels and never go out. It is the best place to discover nature and trekking \u2014 hundreds walk for physical education and all preferences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to get to Madeira<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located in the Atlantic Ocean near Morocco (500 km) is Madeira. Despite the long-distance from continental Portugal (more than 1,000 km), the easiest way to get there is to take a plane from Lisbon. There are also direct flights from different European cities, and you can easily find a ticket from 50 euros one way at <a title=\"SkySurf.Travel - Cheap Flight Tickets\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/skysurf.travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_568\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-568\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-568\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l3a.jpg\" alt=\"airport of Madeira\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l3a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l3a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l3a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">airport of Madeira<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Transport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The word &#8220;Madeira&#8221; means forest. Madeira used to be covered by subtropical forests many years ago. But after being discovered, people burned most of it for agriculture, buildings, and roads.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_569\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-569\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-569 size-full\" title=\"Walking through the Madiera forest\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l4a.jpg\" alt=\"Walking through the Madiera forest\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l4a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l4a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l4a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Walking through the Madiera forest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is a tiny island, 57 km long and 22 km wide. But if you want to see at least something you need to use transport. There are some options &#8211; you can rent a car, use public transportation, or a taxi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Public transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all, after arriving at the airport, you need to catch a bus to the city center of Funchal. Tickets cost 5 euros, but you can buy a round trip ticket per 8 euros. This bus does a circle in Funchal around all the most critical places and hotels.<\/p>\n<p>Except for the airport bus, there are four companies which do bus transfers in Funchal city all over the island. The price depends on the company and distance. It is not so easy to discover the island by public transportation. There are no itineraries or timetables on all of the bus stops, so you need to use the internet and always have a plan B on how to get to your next destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cable car<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-570\" style=\"width: 836px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-570\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l5a.jpg\" alt=\"Faja Dos Padres Cable Car\" width=\"836\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l5a.jpg 836w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l5a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l5a-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faja Dos Padres Cable Car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On Madeira Island, there are five cable cars. Some of them are for tourists, and some for farmers &#8211; to transport grain. Usually, they are expensive, for example, Faja Dos Padres cable car costs 10 euros round-trip, and Funchal &#8211; Monte cable car costs 16 euros round-trip. Sometimes you have no other option to get to the destination, but in certain situations, I think it is not worth it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most comfortable ways to travel around Madeira is to rent a car. You can find popular European rentals and some local services. Usually, the second option is much cheaper (from 24 euros per day), and they don&#8217;t ask for a deposit on your credit card.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tourist transport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two hop on-off buses in Funchal. Their routs are almost the same, so if you are interested in a quick excursion and don&#8217;t have a car, this is the best decision. The Yellow Bus ticket costs 15 euros (13.50 euros if you buy online here <a title=\"Madiera Yellow Bus Tickets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yellowbustours.com\/en-GB\/Madeira\/Circuits\/Funchal-Tour.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.yellowbustours.com\/en-GB\/Madeira\/Circuits\/Funchal-Tour.aspx<\/a> )<br \/>\nCity Sightseeing ticket costs 19 euros (buy online here <a title=\"Madeira City Sightseeing Tickets\" href=\"https:\/\/city-sightseeing.com\/en\/78\/funchal\/84\/hop-on-hop-off-funchal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/city-sightseeing.com\/en\/78\/funchal\/84\/hop-on-hop-off-funchal<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Europe&#8217;s leading island destination, Madeira has lots of hotels near the seaside. They are great for a relaxing vacation, but if you are going to discover nature, I advise you to find something else. Firstly, you don&#8217;t need to stay at an expensive hotel. Secondly, they are located in a specific area far from all interesting places.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_571\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-571\" style=\"width: 857px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-571\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l6a.jpg\" alt=\"Funchal old city area\" width=\"857\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l6a.jpg 857w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l6a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l6a-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Funchal old city area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you are going to use public transportation, the best place to live is in the city center of Funchal. Right there you can find buses to get to different destinations of the island. Otherwise, you will need to wait and catch at least one more bus.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of hostels, but if you are traveling with one more person, you can easily find apartments on <a title=\"Airbnb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Airbnb<\/a> or <a title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Booking.com<\/a> with your private bathroom, kitchen, etc. for the same price.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a solo traveler? Try <a title=\"Couchsurfing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.couchsurfing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Couchsurfing<\/a>! During my visit to Madeira island, I stayed with two hosts. Both of them were super friendly and told me lots of interesting facts about the island. I think I am lucky &#8211; all people whom I met in my adventure were so nice to me! For example, our first host &#8211; a local Portuguese man Nuno. He works in the airport and does paragliding in his free time. He showed his favorite bar to my friend and me and taught us how to drink local cocktails Poncha and Nikita. It is a unique experience!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-572\" style=\"width: 739px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-572\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l7a.jpg\" alt=\"Blue hour on the north part of Madeira island\" width=\"739\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l7a.jpg 739w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/l7a-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blue hour on the north part of Madeira island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Follow the blog updates.<br \/>\nNew articles about Madeira coming soon!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Romanna<\/p>\n<p>Previous post:\u00a0<a title=\"Life on Azores\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/life-on-azores\/\">Life on Azores<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next post:\u00a0<a title=\"Top 5 Things to Do in Madeira Island\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/top-5-things-to-do-on-madeira-island\/\">Top 5 Things to Do in Madeira Island<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Romanna\u2019s Upcoming Eight Destinations in Europe for only $815\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/romannas-eight-destinations-for-her-skysurf-travel-job-to-europe-for-815\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romanna\u2019s trip to eight cities (five islands) in Europe<\/a>\u00a0cost a total of $815 (flights only).\u00a0 To build your own cheap multicity itinerary, visit\u00a0<a title=\"SkySurf.Travel - multicity flight itinerary builder\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SkySurf.Travel<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>View more photos of\u00a0<a title=\"Romanna's European SkySurf.Travel adventure on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skysurftravel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romanna\u2019s European SkySurf.Travel adventure on Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To read more of\u00a0<a title=\"Romanna's SkySurf.Travel adventure blogs\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/tag\/romanna-skysurf-travel-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romanna\u2019s SkySurf.Travel adventure blogs, click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a\u00a0series of blog entries\u00a0from\u00a0SkySurf.Travel\u2019s first travel hiree, Romanna.
