10 TIPS on VISITING MADEIRA in 2022
Planning a vacation to Madeira can be a daunting task. Madeira island is one of the most touristically diverse holiday destinations on the entire planet! There’s endless choices of such uniquenesses, all of the highest quality and like nothing you’ve seen anywhere else. A vacation in Madeira can be a once in a lifetime experience, every single time 😉
So without any further a due, here are our 10 Tips for Visiting Madeira in 2022.
1 Make the most of the Sunrises and Sunsets
A Sunrise mission in Madeira can be a very adventurous thing. From waking up early, to packing a snack, to navigating the local roads and paths, it always feels like you’re moving with purpose and that hope to see one of the most beautiful things you’ll see on the island, the sun rise above the clouds, in the forrest or on one of our many cliff edge viewpoints. There’s a lot of planning, guessing and improvising that may or may not be needed to conduct a successful sunrise mission. You need to know where the sun will be, where the good viewpoints are (according to the season because the sun doesn’t always rise from the same location of course) and how it will take to get there, with room to improvise if needed. An expert can help, so check out our Sunrise Tours for more information.
Sunsets are a lot easier to plan. You can easily see where the good weather is in Madeira during daylight hours and judge where a good sunset will be or if you’re lucky, the best sunset you’ve seen in your life. A sunset in Pico do Areiro is one hell of a thing but you of course get great sunsets from your hotel/airbnb views, the city, the beach, on the road, in the mountains, camping, hiking, etc. Plan for the most adventurous ones or take a tour or make your own way there, Sunsets in Madeira are stunning!
TIP: Check the webcams for where the weather is good (western regions of the island of course)
