Funchal Lido Hotels & Cafes walking tour | Funchal, Madeira (cc)

[@broadsword6650]

Hi, really enjoying your walks around Madeira! Haven't been to The Island for several years and we hope to return later this year or in early 2023. It is great when you linger for a moment on restaurant menus and boards so we can get an idea of what's on offer and of prices. Obrigado!

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there broadsword, a pleasure to hear from you and to know you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback too regarding the menus! I hope you will be back soon, it’s here and waiting for you with open arms!

[@stephenwood9104]

Absolutely love the lido walk by the ocean, it's so different to the heart of Funchal, this is why I love Madeira so much, it's perfect, it reaches out to you and once you have been you get hooked, i have so many wonderful memories and am planning to be back in 2025, thanks for sharing another fabulous video.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there Stephen, we too love the lido walk, and as you say it couldn't be more different to the heart of Funchal. There's certainly a very special something that takes one over, we do agree. Hope to bring you many more walks alongside us until you can return for real in 2025, thanks for taking the time to be in touch.

Interesting to see this area in terms of how busy it is right now. Looks fairly quiet but with just enough people to give it atmosphere.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there BIAF, yes it feels good to have some people around but it’s very relaxed too, thanks for dropping by.

[@relaxbreathesleep1127]

Really good to see the entire area and to piece together where the hotels and restaurants are, thanks living walks.

[@LivingWalks]

We thought we’d do a walk like this as we wish there’d have been one when we first came to orientate us.So guessed others must feel the same.

[@hanneloreotto8367]

I came back from Madeira on Thursday. It was very warm and air humidity was high, too. Would like to go when temperatures are lower.... like in spring. Madeira is a very beautiful island and I enjoyed my stay, though. People are nice and friendly.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for dropping by friend, pleased you enjoyed this lovely place despite the heat. I think it's been rather extraordinary everywhere this year.

[@juliodefreitas157]

Absolutely beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your work of Madera ❤❤🍷🍷💙💛

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you very much Julio, so pleased to know that you enjoyed it.

[@8008257]

Well-made video, I have been to Madeira 3 times on holiday and have tried to follow some of your walks. Never enjoyed anywhere as much as Madeira the charm and magic keep drawing me back. Keep up the good work, many thanks.

[@LivingWalks]

Morning David, a pleasure to hear from you. How nice to know you have enjoyed some of the walks. We quite agree that Madeira has a certain charm and magic and it too keeps drawing us back, in fact we'll be back again in a couple of weeks time so we hope to bring you many more walks until you can be back again for real. All the best to you.

Great video I’m going in July 24 staying at the palms anybody stayed at the palms before.

[@LivingWalks]

We're not stayed there Andrew but we popped in for a drink in the grounds a couple of days ago and it looked very nice. And certainly in a good position. Hope you have a great time, I'm sure you will.

[@LivingWalks]

Planning to visit Madeira in winter and want to know what the winter weather in Funchal is like and where the hotels are based?

[@mrfletcher7708]

The weather is really nice in Madeira this time of year. I just got back a couple of weeks ago.

[@citytour4213]

thanks for sharing your walk, I really enjoy to watch

[@LivingWalks]

Hi fellow walker, the Star Ferry pier area looks fun on your recent video too, thanks for introducing it to us.

I worked there and lived there for 10 years,so many memories. I miss home. Promenade.....Lido

[@LivingWalks]

I can quite see how you must miss it. We feel that way after a couple of months! Hope this brings back some happy memories.

[@capmendonca]

@@LivingWalks uk is cold and "ugly". 2 years since last time I was in Madeira. 😭

Thank you! You too fellow walker.

Hotels & Cafes in Winter!!! They are wearing shorts. I was up at 5 AM clearing a foot of snow out of my driveway. Hey.... I want to be in Madeira. Does it snow there? Hi from Snowy Sandpoint, Idaho USA.

[@LivingWalks]

Oh HD, how I wish you could be here with us. You'd be capturing some black and white moments in the old town in the daytime and we'd meet for a cool beer in the lido in the evening... ah yes, perhaps one day? Eek a foot of snow.... brrrr don't know how we'll cope with the cold when we return to blighty, not sure how I'd manage with snow! All the best to you chum!

[@broadsword6650]

They do sometimes get some snow in the mountains, I believe...

[@eduardolima7534]

winter is 10!

[@LivingWalks]

Oh yes it is!!

[@FinanceTeacher123]

Hey Living Walks, love your videos. Silent, yet so informative. Is there any high school in Madeira? Thanks

[@LivingWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it G, yes the University of Madeira is a Portuguese public university, created in 1988 in Funchal. The university offers first, second cycle and Doctorate academic degrees in a wide range of fields I believe .

[@FinanceTeacher123]

@@LivingWalks Thanks a ton for your reply.

[@tomkrebs5959]

Well, Restaurante Marisqueira O Barqueiro may be well worth a visit for your viewers' benefit. Pre-Covid they had quite a display of fresh seafood upfront plus a bunch of lobster tanks. If you could sneak a spot with the manager's permission inside to film the platters coming out from the kitchen and have each server explain what is on each platter, your viewers would get quite a treat! It's pretty epic!

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there Tom, it's good to hear from you. Thanks for the info' on Restaurante Marisqueira O Barqueiro, that's interesting to know. We'll have to make a visit next time. Thanks for connecting. All the best to you.

[@stsom8111]

We visit Lido every year, and stay at the Pestana Palms. Other excellent restaurants in the Lido area are Goldie, Ajuda, Madmarket and Goya. Reccomended!!!

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for the tips Stein, I hope the viewers here will find that helpful, all the very best to you.

[@ronaldorodrigues5123]

Deve ser BOM demais ir num desses restaurantes a beira mar , sentar e pedir uma cerveja acompanhado de petiscos e principalmente apreciar essa vista deslumbrante desse lindíssimo mar e ver o por do sol

[@LivingWalks]

Ah sim, um restaurante à beira mar, com uma cerveja e o pôr do sol é simplesmente perfeito não é mesmo.

[@leighyogamindfulness]

Ooh, that's it get me out of here, I wan't to be there a bit too much for my own good!

[@LivingWalks]

ah I hope you get to visit sometime soon.

[@jaxfl8945]

Nice video...was this footage this week of Jan 2022 or Dec 2021? Seems like sweater weather?

[@LivingWalks]

Hi Jax FI, it was the first week of Jan' and although overcast was quite a warm day, around 19 degrees. The prior weeks had reached 24 degrees.

[@danielleforder]

Hello! Been to Madeira twice, the last time I went was in April 2015 when I was 11, I'm 18 now so not really sure what it is like now and thinking of maybe visiting again late this year or next year hopefully, what there is to do on a budget, any suggestions would be great!

[@LivingWalks]

Hi Danielle, I'd say have a look at some more of the walks here so you can see more of what the island is like. Nightlife is pretty low key if that matters to you. The levada walking is spectacular, so I'd say that's the high point if you're into hiking. I have a levada walk on the channel if you want to see more. Hope you have a great time if you go.

[@danielleforder]

@@LivingWalks thankyou so much! it's such a nice island from what I remember but as I haven't been there in almost 8 years, was just wondering what there was, thankyou so much again
