Funchal Christmas lights sightseeing night tour

By Carochentos - Tours & Weddings · listed in Funchal city tours: walking and tuk-tuk, plus the bus question

Our take

For an evening among the Christmas lights, I'd take the classic car. Your group travels privately. The route passes the market and old town.

Pickup at Funchal hotels or the port is included. Choose a date during the Christmas season.

Departures are at 18:30, 20:00 and 21:30. Cruise passengers need to provide their ship's arrival and departure details when booking. Bad weather can cancel the trip.
