Located in Pulau Payar and the three surrounding islands, 30 km south of Pulau Langkawi, this marine park is a heaven for those who love snorkelling, because of its uncontaminated waters and abundant sea life. Of particular interest is the Coral Garden, a section of the park characterised by beautiful and colourful coral formations. The Park can only be visited as part of a tour, which can be booked in Langkawi. The boat trip takes around 45 minutes.

For breathtaking views of Funchal, look no further than Pico do Arieiro. At 1,818 metres high, it is Madeira's third-highest peak. Hikers can expect a stunning panorama of the island and a dramatic view of the clouds rolling below their feet. On clear days, the neighbouring island of Porto Santo can be seen to the northeast. Put on your hiking boots and climb up the summit, or simply go by car.

This museum devoted to Funchal's most famous son — the football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. It offers a rare chance to take a look at the trophies, Ballon d'Ors, fan correspondence, and even an interactive timeline of the life of Ronaldo.

Situated just beyond the fence from the F21 military flight battalion, this museum offers a compelling journey into the history of this strategic military unit. Exploring the aircraft they used, the Cold War-era coordination, and the area's strategic significance, visitors encounter a treasure trove of aeroplane models and artefacts from bygone eras, including authentic aircraft and helicopters. The museum is meticulously maintained by passionate veterans and aviation enthusiasts. While most written explanations and documents are in Swedish, a QR code facilitates English comprehension. An added thrill awaits with a simulator that allows visitors to take the reins and experience flying their own jet fighter, adding an interactive dimension to this immersive exploration of military aviation history.
