A day exploring museums, levadas, wine cellars and breathtaking viewpoints, isn’t complete without a night reveling in Madeira Island diverse nightlife scene.
To make your evening a success, we introduce some suggestions on where to go, with noteworthy bars, pubs, and nightclubs with each taking your night in a different direction depending on your mood or preferences.
Poncha
Poncha is the most traditional and emblematic drink of Madeira Island, made from sugarcane brandy, sugar or honey and lemon or orange juice.
According to some studies, the Poncha originates from India, where it is known as "pãnch" which means, literally, five ingredients (arrack, lemon juice, sugar, spices and water). This drink was already used in Portuguese navigations in the 16th century, and throughout the 19th century, the Poncha was a very popular drink among Madeiran families all over the island, whether they were more or less wealthy.
You will find the famous Poncha on every second corner, from small pubs at hidden alleys, charming bars or even in large nightclubs. There is no shortage of Poncha to keep you going when the sun goes down.
Funchal Old Town
Nightlife in the Funchal Old Town (Zona Velha) is a place with great attraction and historical importance in Madeira as this is where one of the first settlements sprung up.
Make sure you visit and take a stroll down the Rua de Santa Maria, characterized by narrow cobblestone streets and small Bars & Pubs and cozy Restaurants.
The Funchal Old Town is where the Madeiran night normally begins!
