The Teleférico do Funchal is a cable car system located in the city of Funchal on the island of Madeira, Portugal. It is a popular tourist attraction that offers stunning views of the city and the surrounding landscape.

The cable car system consists of two stations, the lower station at Almirante Reis Park and the upper station at Monte. The ride takes approximately 15 minutes each way and travels a distance of 3.9 kilometers. During the journey, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Funchal and the Atlantic Ocean.

The cable car cabins are spacious and comfortable, accommodating up to eight passengers at a time. Each cabin has large windows and a glass floor, providing a unique and exhilarating experience as you soar above the city.
