If you're a first-time visitor to Madeira, we recommend spending at least 5 days on the island to fully experience all it has to offer. This will give you enough time to visit some of the top attractions such as Pico do Arieiro, Monte Palace Tropical Garden and Funchal's Old Town. You can also take part in some exciting outdoor activities like hiking along the Levadas or surfing in Porto da Cruz.
However, if you have more time and want to explore Madeira further, we suggest extending your stay for up to 10 days.
