Top 10 Lookouts in Madeira, Madeira Islands

June 19, 2021 Russell Mellin

Breezy Madeira is an eponymous island in the Madeira Islands, a Portuguese archipelago. The capital city of Funchal was settled in the 15th century and is a colorful collection of gardens, religious sites, and quirky tourist attractions like the thatched-roof Madeira Story Centre. Hike to the summit of Pico Ruivo and you’ll feel like you’ve climbed through the clouds. Unwind over a glass of Madeira wine, an historic fortified beverage that’s musky and subtly sweet.

Cabo Girao

Reviewed By cliffm445 - Slough, United Kingdom

Popular spot. Good place for picking up buses, taxis or the great Green Train down to the coastal resort of Camara dos Lobos You will pay through the nose at the cafe - tea, coffee and custard tarts @ €15 would almost buy a meal for two with wine locally

The place is easily accesible and shows you all the highlights of the area. Can be an alternative to doing the trail.

Balcoes de Ribeiro Frio

Reviewed By stevebG6121BX - London, United Kingdom

My wife and myself are currently holidaying in Madeira and earlier today we went on an excellent East Island Tour arranged by Blandy Travel. Part of the Tour included a one hour Levada Walk - on an well marked (if a little uneven in places) path - from Ribeiro Frio to Balcoes. This was largely uneventful until reaching the Balcoes View point which - particularly on the nice clear and sunny day we were blessed with - offers stunning views of the adjacent Peaks. The icing on the cake was the 6-10 colourful and relatively friendly Finches who are used to receiving tit bits from the large number of visitors to the Viewpoint. All in all, a most enjoyable walk - one well suited for the less able walkers.
