Three plans that do not need an event
Choose a place, then check the linked transport guide before leaving. These choices stay useful when the event calendar has no coverage.
Funchal old town and waterfront
Walk the old streets and waterfront, then use the city guide to choose the next stop.
Machico by bus
Combine the old centre, promenade and beach, and confirm the return before settling by the sea.
Porto Santo beach day
Make the beach the main plan and choose the return crossing before booking the outward journey.
Filling the car
The Region homologates a maximum retail price every week and publishes it in its own gazette. These are the two road fuels at the ceiling set by the order this page was built from: a station may charge less, and several do, but none may charge more.
€2.021
€2.120
If you need a pharmacy
There is no duty rota here because there is none to publish: the regional health authority’s rota application returned nothing for every date we tested it against. So this page will not tell you which pharmacy is open. Telephone ahead, or read the notice posted in any pharmacy window, which is where the duty list is reliably published.
65 pharmacies are on the regional register, with their addresses and telephone numbers.
What this page is built on
Nothing here is a claim about the moment you are reading. Each date below is the date a register itself carries, printed as a date. The only thing computed from the clock is which three days “this weekend” means, and that happens in your browser rather than at build time.
