take precautions<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike many cities in southern Europe, street parking is perfectly permitted in Funchal, provided you follow the rules for the specific zone you are in.  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Blue Zone, which is most common in the city center, costs \u20ac1.20 per hour during the day and \u20ac2 at night, with a maximum charge of \u20ac16 for 24 hours.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Yellow Zone, which is closer to the marina, costs \u20ac1.85 per hour but is free on Sundays and holidays.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before parking your vehicle, take a moment to check the nearest sign: it indicates the zone color, the times when fees apply, and the applicable rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>iParque Driver is the official app that lets you pay for on-street parking without needing change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a

The Monte neighborhood, the upper part of Estrada Monumental, and the parking lot at Praia Formosa Beach offer free parking, requiring a 15- to 30-minute walk or a ride on the cable car.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We especially appreciate the &#8220;Monte&#8221; option, which lets you head back down to the historic center while enjoying a lovely view of the bay along the way.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funchal stretches from the waterfront to the hills, which is why your choice of parking depends largely on where you want to go. Here are our recommendations for the most-visited websites.<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-funchal-visit\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See our article on Funchal&#8217;s top attractions.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to park when visiting the historic center: Avenida do Mar and the Zona Velha<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to stroll along Avenida do Mar and explore the colorful alleys of the Zona Velha, the <strong>Almirante Reis Parking Garage<\/strong> is still the most convenient option. Its waterfront location means you can walk to the boardwalk in just a few minutes. <strong>The Amazonia Car Park<\/strong>, located on Rua Nova da Alegria, is a good option if you&#8217;re staying on the east side; it&#8217;s about a 5-minute walk from that same neighborhood.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/Cathedral\/i-mstnpRq\/0\/LcgHWwqgMwcr55stgrC6NhRp9PwK7vFpD3nv5tSzd\/L\/cathedral_Funchal_Madeira-7173213-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/Cathedral\/i-mstnpRq\/0\/LcgHWwqgMwcr55stgrC6NhRp9PwK7vFpD3nv5tSzd\/L\/cathedral_Funchal_Madeira-7173213-L.jpg\" alt=\"Funchal - Historic Center and Zona Velha: Cathedral\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/Cathedral\/i-mstnpRq\/0\/LcgHWwqgMwcr55stgrC6NhRp9PwK7vFpD3nv5tSzd\/L\/cathedral_Funchal_Madeira-7173213-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-9\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Funchal\/Cathedral\/i-mstnpRq\/0\/LcgHWwqgMwcr55stgrC6NhRp9PwK7vFpD3nv5tSzd\/L\/cathedral_Funchal_Madeira-7173213-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to park when visiting the Mercado dos Lavradores<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mercado dos Lavradores, the city&#8217;s iconic covered market, is best visited early in the morning.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For families with strollers, people with limited mobility, or simply those who prefer to minimize walking, the Almirante Reis Parking Lot remains the best option: its exit leads directly to the waterfront, just a few minutes from the main attractions. Please note that some areas offer free parking to holders of a European disability permit; check with your rental company before departure.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure parking lots in Funchal<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in any tourist area, we recommend that you do not leave anything in plain sight inside your vehicle, even in covered, monitored parking garages such as Almirante Reis, Santa Luzia, or Parking Plaza CR7.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the cheapest parking lot in Funchal?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazonia Car Park, but you have to pay in cash.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the iParque Driver app?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iParque Driver is the official app that lets you pay for on-street parking without needing change. Simply register your license plate, select the zone and the desired duration, then pay by card directly from your phone. We recommend that you download it before you arrive, as the parking meters in Funchal can sometimes be quite coin-hungry.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"
