Exploring Funchal by car is one of the best ways to see the island at your own pace. Start in the city center, then drive up to Monte for panoramic views, and continue west to the fishing village of Câmara de Lobos and the dramatic cliffs of Cabo Girão. Follow the coast to São Vicente on the north side, known for its volcanic scenery, and enjoy one of the island’s most scenic drives. For a more wild landscape, head east to Ponta de São Lourenço, famous for its cliffs and hiking trails.
