Madeira Airport is about 13 km east-northeast of Funchal, in the municipality of Santa Cruz.

No. It is in Santa Cruz, a separate municipality on the southeast coast. It is often called Funchal Airport because most arriving travelers head to Funchal.

Calheta on the southwest coast and Porto Moniz on the north coast are on the far side of the island, on winding roads with many tunnels. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Yes. The ferry to Porto Santo leaves from the port of Funchal; enter the port as your drop-off and give your sailing time.
