Get into the spirit of the festive season and enjoy the
warmest of welcomes as you visit the Christmas markets
on the city’s six main squares. Madeira, a Portuguese island, celebrates to the fullest
the arrival of Christmas season, with a traditional Christ-
mas market, held in Avenida Arriaga central walkways, at
the heart of its main capital – Funchal.
See the ice sculptures at the Frozen Fairyland, then warm
up cold hands around a hot spicy drink or mulled wine.
Let the illuminations chase away the dark winter days,
and enjoy traditional treats like the merry-go-round, a
walk through the magic forest or take the chance to stock
up on gastronomic Christmas essentials at the city mar-
ket hall.
An ice-rink and big wheel add to the leisure activities for
young and old alike.
