Detailed description

Madeira Island: Funchal Sightseeing in Electric Car

It is often the unusual and unexpected experiences that will be remembered from your holiday. Experience a completely different, exciting sightseeing tour on Madeira in an electric mobile. On the 2-hour round trip you roll with the agile speedster through the narrowest alleys of the city, the most beautiful mountains up and the most wonderful vantage points towards. The tour starts in Funchal. After a short briefing you start the electric motor and follow your App-guide in a two-seater to the most important points of the capital. The route includes numerous route points, which will bring you closer to Funchal from different points of view. You will follow the paths by the sea, from there into the heart of the city and up to a panorama over the enchanting bay of Funchal. Drivers need a driving license, co-drivers should be at least 3 years old.

The first stop is in the eastern part and offers perhaps the most beautiful view of the bay of Funchal - the panorama of Neves you enjoy about 280 meters above sea level. From there it goes into the nature park of Garajau. There you will find the famous Christ Monument. Situated on a rocky promontory, this place also offers a unique view over the surroundings of Funchal. You will then roll along some of Madeira's oldest and narrowest streets into the historic centre of Funchal and your App-guide will provide you with interesting information about monuments, sights and squares in the city. Above all, this part gives pleasure to many participants, because the driving fun downhill doubles, but also the city ensemble from above seems so unique.

The modern, environmentally friendly electric cars that make this Funchal tour possible have a range of around 100 kilometres and will certainly bring you some unforgettable moments.

Enjoyed a history lesson in the electric car

The car took some getting used to at first, but if you're not used to it, you can get in quickly and the history lesson, rounded off by impressive viewpoints! Highly recommended.

Im E-Auto Geschichtsunterricht genossen

Auto war am Anfang gewöhnungsbedürftig, wenn man es nicht gewohnt ist, kommt man aber schnell rein und dazu noch die Geschichtsstunde, abgerundet durch beeindruckende Aussichtspunkte! Sehr empfehlenswert.

Something else

Driving something other than the usual Segway or bus. It's worth it.
