Arrival by car

Directions from Funchal Airport (FNC):
From the airport, take the Via Rapida (expressway) west towards Funchal. It takes about 15-20 minutes to the Funchal "Porto/Hospital" exit. Caution: you need to turn left here, leaving the expressway from the overtaking lane. Then continue downhill until you reach a roundabout. At the roundabout, go straight ahead, past the hospital, and continue downwards to the next major traffic light intersection. You will see the Pestana Carlton Hotel in front of you. However, to access the entrance properly, you must first turn right and make a "loop" by going around the monument that becomes visible in the middle of the road leading upwards, then drive back and turn right.
