Portugal - Madeira & Lisbon 🇵🇹

Portugal - Madeira & Lisbon 🇵🇹

Congratulations on your big day! There is NO better place to celebrate than Portugal, truly the most special place on earth. I may be biased (as a proud Portuguese daughter myself) but I promise that you will also quickly get lost in the magic of Portugal. The food, the sights, the music, the pastries, the sunsets, and more! Enjoy these recommendations :)

🌋 Madeira

Madeira is a stunning group of volcanic islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean, known for its dramatic landscapes, lush vegetation, and picturesque coastlines. Your time in Madeira should be all about experiencing the outdoors and enjoying incredibly fresh food. The island operates on a slow and relaxed pace, so don't expect the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy your slow mornings and long dinners :)

It is easiest to get around Madeira with a car but if you don't have one, organized trips or utilizing buses can be a great option! I am a huge advocate for using Get Your Guide to find the most affordable and well-reviewed group activities. Or consider renting a Jeep for your exploring days - get lost in the island!

🏞 What to See 

Free Walking Tours Funchal holds a free essentials tour every Tuesday at 09:30 and 14:30, It is a great way to get familiar with the city! At the end of the tour, you pay what you want ( I recommend 5-10 euros pp)
