Overview
Make the most of the biggest day of the Madeira Flower Festival with an all-in-one experience that includes a walking tour of Funchal, a reserved grandstand seat for the Madeira Flower Festival Parade, and hassle-free return transport.
Your day begins in Santa Catarina Park, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Funchal and learn about Madeira’s botanical heritage. The tour continues to São Francisco Garden, where your guide will share insights into the flora of Madeira and its importance to local culture.
As you walk through the festival-decorated streets and past Funchal’s historic landmarks, you’ll learn about the origins of the Madeira Flower Festival, how it has evolved over the years, and the significance of the flower carpets. This event requires a major investment, with the regional government covering most costs, while families of parade participants also contribute.
After the guided tour, you’ll have free time to explore Funchal at your own pace, soak up the lively festival atmosphere, and choose from a variety of restaurants and cafés (lunch not included). This is also a great opportunity to visit the Flower Exhibition, where award-winning floral arrangements showcase the island’s rich biodiversity and artistry.
The highlight of your day is the Madeira Flower Festival Parade, where you’ll enjoy reserved grandstand seating with your Madeira Flower Festival tickets to watch the impressive floral floats, themed flower costumes, and dance performances. To keep you comfortable, we provide a festival pack, including a hat and bottled water.
After the parade, when thousands of visitors face long taxi and bus queues, you’ll enjoy a smooth return transfer to your hotel in Funchal or other locations upon request.
