The Funchal Cable Car is one of the most scenic ways to get from the Old Town up to Monte – and it’s more than just transport; it’s an experience. Gliding high above the city, you’ll get sweeping views of Funchal’s rooftops, the bay, and the lush hills that cradle the capital.

🪙 Ticket prices:
• One-way – Adults: €12.50 | Children (7–14): €6.50
• Round trip – Adults: €18.00 | Children (7–14): €9.00

🚨 Local tip: Buy your tickets online in advance! The ticket queue at the lower station in the Old Town can get long – especially in the late morning. But with pre-purchased tickets, you can skip that line completely and go straight to the boarding queue. Much better than standing in the sun while everyone else floats above your head.
