Funchal Municipal Garden (Dona Amélia Garden)

Highlight • Natural

The City Garden was established in 1880 in honour of the former Queen of Portugal and is also known as the "Dona Amelia Garden". It was once the site of the São Francisco convent, whose "Pedra de Armas" can still be seen on one of the lawns.

Here you will find flora from Madeira and many other parts of the world. The garden has a lake and a stream with fish and birds, some works of art and an auditorium for cultural activities. There is also a lovely park café where you can buy all kinds of delicious fresh-squeezed fruit juices.

Santa Maria Street

Highlight • Structure

De artE de pORtas abERtas (art of open doors) is an artistic project on Madeira that was started by some artists led by Jose Maria Montero Zyberchema. ArtE de pORtas abERtas is carried out in Rua Santa Maria in the old town of Funchal, a dilapidated street with many vacant houses and storage rooms, and consists of painting old doors by the artists.

Thanks to this project, the street has come back to life. Terraces have emerged and a number of restaurants and art galleries have settled in the buildings.

The municipality of Funchal became interested and provided the paint for the artworks. In 2010, the first results were visible. Since then, more and more doors have turned into a painting. The street is now a tourist attraction.

Santa Catarina Park

Highlight • Natural

The "Santa Catarina Park" with the "Capela de Santa Catarina" is one of several small parks near the port of Funchal. In addition to the great view of the harbor, it invites you to linger with its small pond and the many seating options. But leave your bike here and continue on foot.
