City Overview
Considering its size you would hardly believe that this tiny island would have so much to offer.From history, arts, culture and beautiful scenery. Madeira is also sometimes called the "floating garden in the Atlantic" because of the famous natural beauty and wide variety of gardens and parks. Try some mountan tobogganing, by sliding in a wicker basket mounted on wooden runners, down the mountain or surf in the excellent conditions which attract proffesionals and tourists alike.
Daily Budget
Madeira also uses the Euro. The island is not a cheap place to visit and if your budget is tight you may want to stay in Portugal and only take a day trip to Madeira. Otherwise look at spending about US $73 per day for food and budget lodging.
