Madeira Itinerary <\/strong>– how we traveled and what we managed to see in a week on the island. Honestly, after such a trip, you need a vacation to recover because everything turned out to be very intense. But the mountains, waterfalls, and viewpoints won\u2019t explore themselves. So, how to fit the unfit, or how we traveled around Madeira!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, instead of a full week, we only had six days because on the first day, our plane couldn\u2019t land at Funchal Airport due to strong winds. We spent the night on Tenerife<\/strong>, where the plane landed on the first day. However, the airline provided us with a hotel, transfer, and meals. And despite having to fit everything into the remaining days and constantly adjusting plans due to the weather – we managed to see it all<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost<\/strong> – we left a little for the next time because Madeira is a place worth visiting more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019m sharing my personal experience of traveling around Madeira, the itinerary, what we managed to see, how we traveled, and where we stayed during the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was considering transportation options, I had a choice: either buses or renting a car. After reading numerous reviews, I realized that seeing all the places I wanted to visit on the island in a week would be nearly impossible using public transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, many tourists choose to travel around Madeira by bus<\/strong>. Some don\u2019t have a driver\u2019s license, while others prefer to save money on car rental. A bus ride costs around 2 euros<\/strong> on average, whereas renting a car for a day costs at least 30 euros<\/strong>. For a solo traveler, buses are certainly more cost-effective than a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several reasons for this:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
