Porto do Funchal
Vast cruise ships dock at Funchal's central port, which has been given a major face-lift over recent years, and the surrounding promenade now features marinas, cafés, and manicured green spaces. The backdrop, with cloud-shrouded mountains in one direction and blue sea in the other, makes it a more than picture-worthy spot, and it's also a good place to pick up leaflets about boat tours and excursions or to stop for a bite at one of the refreshment kiosks and food trucks.
