Exploring the Madeira, Portugal’s Hidden Island Paradise

In today’s episode we’re sharing everything you need to know to plan a trip to the Portuguese island of Madeira, a lush, volcanic island known for its rugged coastline, terraced hillsides, and dramatic mountain peaks. We cover money-saving travel tips and how to navigate the island’s winding roads and ever-changing microclimates. Then we dive into our four days in Madeira, filled with breathtaking views, hikes, and incredible food and wine. We’ll take you all over the island, from the Funchal cable car and Monte Palace Gardens to hiking the dramatic São Lourenço Peninsula and Pico do Arieiro trails, to discovering the island’s most spectacular coastal viewpoints.
