Sunday Market and Gardens Tour

Highlights

Meet a driver at your hotel for 9am departure, then travel into Madeira’s hilly interior to the village of Santo da Serra. The community’s market is one of the week’s key social events, and you’ll see a blend of islanders and visitors mingling in the aisles, gathering shopping and souvenirs. There is farm-fresh produce, homemade sweets, and the island’s traditional rum punch for sale, and plenty of places to stop and snack as you wander. Following your time in the Santo da Serra market, continue to the nearby gardens, where you’ll find a network of quiet paths that are perfect for a Sunday stroll. Begin the return trip to Funchal, with a stop along the way to visit Santa Cruz, a coastal city that’s Madeira’s second-largest community. Take an easy-going walk on the seaside promenade, then continue to Funchal, where this 3-hour tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.
