Funchal Cable Car

Climbing Monte Palace with the zip line is much more than a simple journey: it is an adventure suspended between heaven and earth, where every moment gives emotions and breathtaking views. We leave from Funchal station, ready to live a unique experience. As soon as the cabin doors close and the zip line begins its ascent, the city slowly recedes below us and the view opens in all its majesty.Suspended in the air, we leave behind the bustle of the centre and, little by little, Funchal transforms into a charming mosaic of red roofs, swaying palm trees and cultivated terraces. As we climb, the city gets smaller, while the Atlantic Ocean stretches out on the horizon, sparkling under the sun. The light wind caresses the face and, from this height, everything looks different, almost magical.
