Funchal is the well known and interesting capital of Madeira - an island famous for its all round year very mild and pleasant climate, and renowned for the masses of flowers and spectacular flowering trees. Near to the house & apartment is the lovely St. Catarina´s Park with its viewing areas over the harbour where you can see the cruise ships arriving and departing. Within easy walking distance of the apartment you have many good quality restaurants, shops and bars and also The Casino. The city centre is only a 10/15 minutes easy downhill walk away with museums, quality shops, restaurants, outside street cafes, wine cellars and the cathedral; just some of the highlights. Visits can be made by cable car to both the gardens at Monte and also the Botanic Gardens and you can and also enjoy the downhill toboggan ride in a basket. Buses go in all directions to various parts of the Island. Levada walking is very popular and two man made beaches make sea swimming possible.
