1.Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 813 reviews · 5 - 2 days · from $22Our pick

Hop-On Hop-Off buses in Funchal with wine tasting and Cabo Girão access options. Flexible stops, great views, value.

“Ironically, despite having a stop in front of the cruise terminal, we were not permitted to board there. We have to walk about 1 mile, to next stop. However, this was not well managed either. So we walked another two blocks to an uphill, westbound stop. One of the sound terminals didn’t work for us at all. Otherwise a nice general overview of Funchal.”

2.City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 627 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $29

See Funchal at your pace on a 24 or 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus, with Monte connections, walking tours, and Madeira wine tastings.

“We got to see a lot more on the red route and there were lots more stops. Was definitely worth the money we booked the 2 day one and did the red route one day and the night bus and blue route the day after. The blue route takes you to the monte palace gardens, top of the cable car and also to where the toboggan rides are. Would definitely recommend”
