Top 10 Places To Visit in Madeira - Travel Guide

[@duartesantos3535]

As a Madeira native, I can say you truly captured the essence of our island. Also the small facts you gave us during the video were on point. You nailed it again, Ryan!

Difficult to choose the most favorite one, as I LOVE all the places you shared 😍 Such a wonderful island with so many breathtaking natural wonders 🏞️⛰️ Thanks Ryan for showcasing the amazing Madeira!

Lately I’ve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I’ve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I’m doing, please I could really use some guidelines.

[@veronicafarmiga5577]

@@seyedimohammadi6309 In situations like this,I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.

Omg! I can’t imagine what you felt there if I’m just blown away by the video!😍😍😍 Madeira’s on the top of my bucket list now

[@RyanShirley]

Can't wait for you to visit!

[@ReheatedDonut]

Shut the front door. I'm literally just back from Madeira after commenting on your Ireland video about a week ago lol. Awesome place and great video.

[@RyanShirley]

Ah no way, what a coincidence 😅 What part of Madeira was your favorite?

[@ReheatedDonut]

@@RyanShirley Had to be the peaks of Areeiro and Ruivo. We got up early to watch sunrise on Areeiro and then did the hike to Ruivo. It was tough with all the ups and downs. And the heat doesn't help. Had most of your video on our list but would have needed another week to fit it all as we did 2 other hikes which took 5-6 hours each (so the entire day gone really) and also did a whale/dolphin watching trip and a kayak/snorkeling trip. If you get a chance I'd recommend a visit to the Azores. It's not as hot/hilly but still lots of amazing scenery and some epic natural hot pools etc. Our AirBnB (in Vila Franca do Campo) had a natural rock swimming pool (like a smaller Madeira Porto Moniz etc), but unfortunately the lady isn't renting it out anymore. But I'm sure there are other properties with similar along the coast.

[@RyanShirley]

@@ReheatedDonut I agree with Pico Arieiro being the best! That’s sweet you went to the Azores, I might try to go there in a few weeks. I decided to go to Lisbon after Madeira but wish I just went to the Azores instead. They sure look amazing!

A lot of good captured in this video. But it's missing a visit (er, swim) at Porto Moniz and footage of the hiking trails along the many levadas. There is also the Monte wicker basket sleigh rides downhill and the bay where Winston Churchill used to paint, Camara do Lobos Harbour (eat lunch there!) Funchal Marina offers up dolphin/whale watching, deep sea fishing, and a 3-hr sightseeing/swimming cruise aboard the Santa Maria de Colombo. Eat dinner at one of the many restaurants along the Rua de Santa Maria. Then edit your your video in the city park, Jardim Municipal do Funchal. Afterwards, you can walk to Blandy's for a glass of wine. Last, Funchal is known for their annual New Year's fireworks show.
