Lovely old quaint streets with some very interesting painted doors by various artists, depicting a variety of subjects. Lots of cafes and restaurants. Some individual craft and art shops.
We loved the old town, especially the fruit and flower market with all the colourful stalls.. Seeing the fish market was fascinating. We also loved the old streets, especially theose with the painted doorways.
I have been in Funchal 5 times. Every time I enjoy the Zona Velha more due to renovating and maintenance which are done there.
It's definitely the most colourful part of Funchal. Many restaurants, shops and small art galleries. Look for the doors paintedby the local artists.
Crowded with restaurants this part of town inevitably attracts many visitors. When quiet the older style of the buildings can be enjoyed. Plenty of food and drink options, though all with a similar offering.
