财产 — Casa da Praça
Casa da Praça sits on a quiet, tree-lined square in Funchal’s old town. The lobby feels like a cosy, airy living room with tiled floors and a small honesty bar. It’s a no-fuss, three-star gem that suits independent travellers who want a central base without paying for frills. The USP is location: you step out onto Praça do Município, two minutes from the Sé Cathedral and a five-minute walk to the marina.
Funchal编年史
Funchal was founded in 1424 by João Gonçalves Zarco, a Portuguese explorer who named it after the abundant fennel (funcho) he found here. Its medieval core grew around the Cathedral (built 1493–1514), blending Gothic and Manueline styles. The 19th century brought grand villas and the Monte Palace, reflecting the wealth from Madeira’s wine trade. Today, Funchal balances cruise-ship tourism with a quiet local life—its markets, gardens and steep cobbled streets still feel genuinely Portuguese.

城市简介 — Funchal
- The Funchal cable car to Monte is running as normal, but the Monte toboggan ride is now booking time slots online—book a day ahead to avoid queues.
- A new pedestrianised zone on Rua dos Ferreiros (trial since 2025) now closes to cars 18:00–02:00, improving restaurant terrace space.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa da Praça, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors (5th or 6th) on the rear side of the building for reduced street noise and better views over the old town rooftops toward the hills.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor rooms facing the street, especially those near the entrance or reception, as Praça do Povo is a lively square with café chatter and foot traffic into the evening.
Best views
Upper floor rooms at the rear offer angled views over Funchal’s terracotta roofs and the hillside, while front-facing rooms overlook Praça do Povo and the pedestrianised square with its central fountain.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 – higher floors buffer street noise effectively, and the lift stops at all levels, making access easy.
🔊 Noise notes
The square hosts occasional evening buskers and a weekend fruit market. Traffic is minimal as the square is pedestrian-only, but delivery trucks service nearby cafés early (7am).
Insider tips
1. If driving, ask ahead about street parking permits – the hotel has no dedicated lot, but a public garage (Mercado dos Lavradores) is a 3-min walk. 2. Request a room with a small balcony on the rear side for a quiet spot to sit out, as front-facing balconies overlook the square’s action.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

货币与货币
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
ATMs are the easiest way to get euros; avoid currency exchange desks at the airport or tourist-heavy spots on Avenida Arriaga – rates are poor. Use bank ATMs in shopping centres or bank branches for better rates.
Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere; contactless and Apple/Google Pay are very common. Small market stalls and some taxis still prefer cash, though.
Rounding up the bill in restaurants is polite but not expected; 5-10% extra for good service. Taxi drivers don't expect a tip; hotel porters get €1-2 per bag.
吃,购物和旅行在一个预算
Cheap car hire →A bica (espresso) at a local café costs around €0.80-1.00. Avoid the seafront cafés in Zona Velha for cheaper options.
A prato do dia (daily special) at a típica restaurant in the old town or behind the Mercado dos Lavradores is about €8-12, including drink.
A main course at a simple local restaurant (grilled fish or espetada) runs €10-15. Sharing a poncha at a bar can keep costs down.
The Mercado dos Lavradores has small snack counters with prego sandwiches (€3-4), and in Zona Velha the open-sided restaurants serve affordable bolo do caco garlic bread.
Pingo Doce and Continente are the main budget supermarkets; both have decent ready-made sandwiches and pastries for cheap lunches.
Rua de João de Deus and the area around Avenida do Mar have affordable high-street shops (Zara, H&M, C&A); for better deals check the Madeira Shopping centre.
The cheapest way around is the €1.95 single bus fare on Horários do Funchal; a Giro card (€0.85 single) is worth it if you stay a few days. From the airport, the Aerobus (Line 20) costs around €5 one-way; avoid taxis (€35-40) unless you're sharing with others.
Eat the prato do dia at lunch rather than dinner – same food often half the price.Buy a Giro bus card for discounted singles and save on return trips.Skip cable cars (€18 return) and walk up to Monte for free – steep but rewarding views.
