Funchal City Cams

Get an idea what daily life is like on the Portuguese island of Madeira with this collection of live feeds streaming from Funchal. For a capital city, it’s pretty laid back – most of the time.

Fronted by the Atlantic Ocean and with a deep harbor, picturesque Funchal is a major draw for cruise ships. When they anchor up and disgorge the cruising hordes is when Funchal’s tranquility vanishes in the warm Mediterranean air, the terraces of the street cafes fill to overflowing, and the souvenir shops do a brisk trade.

Once the cruise ship passengers have all reboarded, life in Funchal returns to it’s slower, chilled out pace. And as any Funchal cafe waiter would say – isso é bom!
