Teleférico do Funchal (Funchal – Monte)

A viewpoint in motion: 3,200 m of cable between the centre of Funchal — the Rua Dom Carlos I station on the seafront, near the Madeira Story Centre — and the parish of Monte (Largo das Babosas 8), above a garden city where the blue of the sea, the orange of the roofs and the green of the vegetation mingle. At the top, Monte church, Monte Palace, the municipal park and the sledge departure; from Babosas a second cable car goes down to the Botanical Garden. Operator's 2026 fares: €22 return, €16 one-way, free up to age 6, half price from 7 to 14; open daily 8:45–17:45 except Christmas Day. Maintenance closures announced on the site (for example 20–24 July 2026, with a shuttle).
