Things To Do in Madeira (and if They’re Worth It)

Madeira is one of the most hyped places on the internet right now. Here are some popular things we did and my take on if they’re worth it.

1. Hike Pico to Pico - transfers were $35 each

2. Toboggan - one way was $18 each

3. Monte Palace Garden - entry was $13 each

4. Cable Car Funchal - one way was $13 each, if you don’t plan on taking the toboggan I highly recommend booking roundtrip cable car tickets for convenience.
