Bicycles in Funchal

Thanks to a mild climate all year round, renting a bike in Funchal is very popular at any time of the year. Fun, sports and tourism, all in one!

The capital of Madeira is known for being bathed by the sea, which is almost always calm, but also by the sun, which shines here virtually all year round. So, combining its scenic beauty with its mild subtropical climate, outdoor activities are extremely attractive. It is increasingly common to see people riding bikes in Funchal, tourists and locals alike.

This sporting activity has an endless number of health benefits, but that's not all. Made easier by the recent construction of bicycle lanes, cycling in Funchal is one of the most privileged ways of discovering the beauty of its streets, but also of its green parks (some of which with specific circuits for bikers) or the municipality's tropical gardens.

However, a substantial number of the visitors looking to rent a bike in Funchal end up taking advantage of the excellent conditions of the city's seaside promenades. Besides the conditions of the pavement, the scenic beauty offered by the immensity of the Atlantic, on one side, and the urban fabric, on the other, make this an unforgettable experience. Whether on your own or in a group with a specialised guide, biking in Funchal is one of the most environment-friendly, healthy and exciting ways to explore the city.
