 The best Madeira - Funchal Guide around October 25, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I went to Madeira for 3 days and took this guide and I'm glad I did it. It focus more on Funchal but with so litle time its ideal to plane the days and not waste one second of time.
It also makes a great quick reference to the hit points like top 10 local dishes, top 10 gardens, top 10 beaches, top 10 warnings etc.
It has great info about all the best places and I found the bus information the most usefull for people like me, who wanted to save money but enjoy the trip at the same time. It has lots of pictures of what to expect, usefull information about the island, info on prices, small maps and the best locations and monuments: the very best top 10 of places you just have to visit while in Madeira, places like The Catedral of funchal, Museu de Arte sacra, Adegas, Jardim Botanico, Mercado dos Lavradores, Monte, Curral das Freiras, Pico do Areeiro and many more.

This is an excellent guide to the towns and visitor attractions of Madeira, with a nice little section on the history plus the expected information about common phrases, tipping etc. It does seem to concentrate largely on the Funchal area, with the rest of the island getting relatively short sections in comparison, which is something of a pity, though it still seems to be the best guide out there. Combine it with the Sunflower Landscapes guide for the Car Tours and walks in the more remote parts of the island, and you've got everything covered.
