Flight Distance and Flying Time to Madeira

With Lisbon to the northeast and Morocco to the east, the tiny island of Madeira sits in the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean amidst the Madeira archipelago along with Porto Santo, the only two inhabited islands. Volcanic in origin, the islands are geographically connected to neither continent and, while closer to Africa, Madeira 's cultural, political and economical ties are to Europe .

Majestically set on mountains and cliffs that sour to almost 2000 feet (600 metres) high, this lush and colourful island welcomes visitors with quaint villas, inviting climate and a spectacular array of botanical wonders which has earned the island the nickname of floating garden. Though the mountainous terrain and water splashed cliffs leave no room for sandy beaches, the fresh green fields, amazing flora and pounding surf will captivate you.

Trek up the mountain by way of levadas, a system of aquaducts, and take in spectaculars views. The Levada de Canical is relatively easy, whereas hikers prone to vertigo should stay away from the Levada do Caldeirão do Inferno and the Levada do Caldeirão Verde .

Taste fine Madeira wine, shop for fine embroidery by local artisans or satisfy your sweet tooth with traditional pastries like mel de cana . You can take in an inspiring match of football, or witness a surfing competition. Come to celebrate the New Year and you'll be treated to the world's largest fireworks display.

Madeira promotes its gastronomical flair with its annual Madeira Gourmet Festival. International chefs are invited to share their recipe ideas with young locals to create gourmet dishes using traditional Madeiran ingredients.
