Funchal is a picturesque garden city in Portugal located close to the countryside. One of the best ways to enjoy the scenic beauty of the place is to go for a cable car ride. The Monte Cable Car, also known as the Madeira or Funchal Cable Car, provides the ultimate experience of getting a bird’s eye view of the gorgeous landscape. It is a gondola lift that travels between Funchal and Monte and the cable car’s route was selected to replace the Monte Railway, which used to run from 1886 to 1943. The Monte Cable Car has been operating since 2000.
A ride on the Monte Cable Car will allow visitors to marvel at the view below as they rise above kitchen gardens, gardens, Funchal’s amphitheater and eventually the bay and see everything in hues of oranges, greens, and blues. During the ascent, the valleys, hills, and slopes will gradually replace the urban landscape. The ride will get over at Monte, a quaint town with spectacular scenery. Before making a return journey to Funchal, one can explore the beautiful attractions in Monte like the Church of Our Lady of Monte or the grand Monte Palace Tropical Gardens.
While coming back to Funchal, you can opt for a fun ride in the traditional basket of Monte - where a person is made to sit in a huge basket that is slid down the slopes by helpers, making for an amazing experience.
