Best places: Observation decks in Setúbal

Observation deck offering panoramic views over the surrounding landscape & crater lakes.

👍👍 A very beautiful viewing point along the Verada do Areeiro walking trail. It is highly recommended to get here before sunrise and enjoy the breathtaking views. It is about 20 minutes walking from the parking lot. We had some clouds but after sunrise it cleared up and treated us to stunning views.

Popular lookout at cliff's edge offering views of the jagged coastline & offshore rock formations.

👍👍 Start at Pico do Arieiro, hike to Pico Ruivo and finish at Achada do Teixeira. Only possible as a guided tour, but this way you don't have to walk back all the stairs to Pico do Arieiro. Amazing views all the way, especially the first kilometers from Pico do Arierio. Even view to Ponta de Sao Louren...

👍👍 A beautiful viewpoint. We came early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise so the valley was still foggy. However, the sunrise and the atmosphere was amazing.

👍👍 One of the most beautiful spots of the island. Extremely nice, but difficult access for the brave. I do not recommend it when you are driving the first day on Madeira. Food, souvenir shops, and viewpoint.

👍👍 Excellent Viewpoint! Enjoy taking a drive around the island of Madeira. Stop the car nearby and feel how splendorous it is...

👍👍 Lovely place to watch sunset. Plan to arrive 1 hour before the time listed online for “sunrise” to be able to see the very first color changes in the sky. It can be chilly in the early morning. Definitely wear long pants and a jacket, maybe bring a blanket.

👍👍 Miradouro da Portela is a viewpoint located in the municipality of Machico, Madeira. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and the Atlantic Ocean. The viewpoint is located at an altitude of 670 meters (2,200 feet), and is...

👍👍 Very beautiful view 😍

👍👍 Amazing spot on top of hill with magnificent view on all highest leaks of Madeira. Best sunset and sunrise spot with clouds in the valleys. Perfect. U just park your car 400m from the view and 5 minutes walk ad you are there. Amazing. It was not so turisty either.

👍👍 Take bus 96 from funchal at rodestre ticket box (where you buy your tickets) near marine museum for 40 minutes to its termination the walk upto the car park. Most of the uphill is now done and you can walk to pico grande and back on PR12 easily in 2.5 hours on good trails. Scenery is gobsmacking!...

👍👍 That public lookout has a breathtaking view along the north coast but is now occupied by an outside terrace of the nearby restaurant. That’s a pity.

👍👍 This hike is not very popular and I don't know why. View is incredible. Trail is flat and quite easy. But the road to get to the starting point is frightening and really narrow.

👍👍 This cliff is worth visiting which can be seen from most spots in Funchal. The platform hanging above the abyss has a glass floor, so some people's hearts can beat a bit faster. Free entrance and parking. Stunning view of the coast.

👍👍 Das Highlight meiner Madeirareise! Der Besuch des Leuchtturms auf Madeira ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp für einen unvergesslichen Sonnenuntergang. Trotz einiger Besucher bietet der Ort eine entspannte Atmosphäre und eine atemberaubende Aussicht auf die Steilklippe und das kristallklare, türkis-blaue...

Viewpoint with a cafe & vistas sweeping over Funchal, the sea & rugged inland mountains.

👍👍 Very nice and not too busy viewpoint of the coast!
