QUEUE FOR FUNCHAL CABLE CARS ‘INVADES’ JARDIM DO ALMIRANTE REIS

It’s another day of long queues for those who want to venture aboard the cable cars that connect the center of Funchal to Monte.

Remember that this has been a recurring situation, and this Monday was no exception.

However, this time, the queue extends even to Jardim do Almirante Reis.

It should be noted that, today, there are two cruise ships moored in the port of Funchal, which brought on board more than 10 thousand people, including passengers and crew, which can explain the high turnout to this attraction, plus its a beautiful day which should continue for the first half of this week.

    1. I recall there are 3 bus routes up there – 20 & 21, but our favourite is route 22 to Babosas

  2. Well it seems that the days of walking are over . The last time I was in Funchal I did take the cable car but I did walk from Monte to Funchal back was a long and inclined road not for everyone walk .

  3. Really, I cannot believe people want to spend their holidays in this way. Packed on a ship with thousands of other people, Everywhere you go in a queue and constantly keeping an eye on the time to be sure you will be back in time. Only one day on Madeira, so you think you discovered this beautiful place, no time to really enjoy. Finally, coming home: what did you see? Well in my opinion a lot of water for probably a lot of money. LIvestock transport!

    1. People sometimes arrive on a cruise and see what a beautiful island Madeira is and they come back for a longer holiday.

    4. I’m with you. People like this ruin beautiful and unique destinations. It becomes just another Med hotspot swarmed with uncultured groups that want a beer in the sun and to line up for prescribed attractions while speaking their language the whole time.

      1. Lavina, agreed it is just another overcrowded tourist destination now Madeira and very expensive at that its lost its charm forever a real shame.

        1. Lavinia, when it comes to a lack of charm you should know. After 50 years of visiting, soon to be there again, the biggest charm givers in Madeira, are it’s people. You won’t have noticed this because they are below your social strata. Me, to save you saying it, I’m at home with the peasants.

  4. Why don’t they arrange busses to top all morning empty cable cars s arrive at bottom. A round trip price would increase their income and make tourists happy

  5. I cruised the Mediterranean, starting in Majorca following to Palermo and thru the Isthmus of Corinth to Piraeus. Then to Alexandria, Haifa, Tel Aviv, thru the Greek Islands and via Istanbul into the Bosporus and thru the Black Sea to Crimea and ending in the port of Constantia. 3 three weeks, 300 passengers, Greek cruise ship without stabelizer. FUN!
