Well-marked walking routes and trails are located all over the island. From short, easy trails on flat terrain to advanced walks that can take half a day or more, there's a path for just about anyone who wants to experience the natural beauty of Madeira on foot.
Is Funchal easy to get around?
Funchal is definitely the place to stay, you can get to almost everywhere by bus from there, and even walking round the city with its gardens and parks is a delight. In just a week you will be able to see so much of the island- even after many visits I have only seen and done a tiny proportion of what I want to.
