Funchal–Monte Cable Car

Highlight • Structure

The cable car takes you quickly to the Monte district, about 500 m above sea level. During the trip you have a wonderful view of Funchal and the sea. You should definitely afford the ride down on one of the wooden sledges, an unforgettable experience.

Traditional Santana House

Highlight • Historical Site

The Santana houses integrated into the Monte Palace Tropical Garden in Funchal are lovingly restored examples of traditional Madeiran architecture, featuring thatched gabled roofs and colorful facades. Originally typical of the village of Santana on the north coast, these houses have been incorporated into the garden and now house cozy bars and viewpoints. Surrounded by subtropical vegetation and overlooking Funchal Bay, they are a charming photo opportunity and a special cultural highlight within the garden landscape.

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this vantage point at the southern end of the garden you can watch the Carreiros do Monte as they “sweep down” the street.

Monte Palace Tropical Garden

Highlight • Natural

A beautiful landscaped botanical garden, as is typical for Madeira, of course not at ground level. There are many stairs, narrow paths but also wider paths on which you can explore the different themed areas of the botanical garden. At the lower end there is a cafe with a beautiful view over Funchal. Worth seeing 🌴🌸🌺☀️

Ancient Olive Tree, Monte Palace Tropical Garden

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Monte Palace Tropical Garden in Funchal, Madeira, features an impressive olive tree estimated to be over 2,000 years old. This tree originates from the Alqueva region of Portugal and was incorporated into the Monte Palace garden as a living testament to nature's longevity and resilience.

Although the exact number or age of these olive trees is not specified, some sources refer to them as "millennial olive trees," indicating their impressive age.
