Plan the historic centre and the walk along the bay together. If you have a boat trip booked, check which point of the marina it leaves from before you settle the rest of the plan.
Funchal as a base for Madeira
The scenic tours to the west and the east take up the whole day. The sunset whale-watching boat leaves room for a stroll around the city in the first part of the day.
