Why you’ll love this…
  • It's a city sightseeing tour bus in Funchal with options to include a guided walk
  • There's unlimited hop-on hop-off action for two days from first use
  • You can explore Funchal old town, Monte Palace Gardens and the farmer's market
What to expect

It's easy to get lost in Funchal's jigsaw-like jumble of cobbled streets – so a great way to explore is with a city sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus ticket. The Blue Line Iconic circuit ticks off top sights like the exotic gardens of Monte Palace, as well as the ‘Painted Doors' art project in Funchal's old town and the produce-packed farmer's market. You can opt for the Red and Blue Essentials ticket for all the main sites, plus a guided walking tour that takes in the Marina, São Lourenço Fortress and the market.

    De informatie via oortjes was nogal algemeen, niet altijd toegespitst op waar op dat moment de bus reed. In sommige bussen was de gesproken informatie nauwelijks te horen omdat muziek tegelijkertijd via de oortjes kwam en alles overstemde. In één bus kwam telkens alleen de eerste zin van een onderwerp door. . Onze bus op de blauwe lijn raakte kapot. De chauffeur heeft snel en professioneel gehandeld. De bus veilig geparkeerd en het verkeer regelen. Na drie kwartier kwam een vervangende bus.

    On the red route the audio was OK and informed us of the stops but other than camara de lobos there were no stops of interest outside the city centre which we didn't need a bus for On the blue route the audio told us about interesting historical events but didn't tell us where we were and what to get off at that stop for so ended up getting off a stop after and walking back to where we wanted to be. The blue route only really went to Monte so could have got a bus for €2

    Op de tweede dag werkte de app niet, zodat je niet de tijden kon zien. De eerste dag wel en dat was perfect omdat je dan zag waar de bus was en wanneer hij bij de stop aankwam.

    Le premier chauffeur était très désagréable, même si tout le monde sur l'île est très gentil.
