You need to buy a ticket. This place is quite interesting. The castle is a building with many years of history. It is a perfect area to visit here. The environment of the entire castle is also very elegant, suitable for a slow tour.

The museum opened by C Lang near the cruise terminal of Funchal, the capital of Madeira, is managed by his brother. The admission fee is 5 euros💶. It displays the team and individual awards that C Lang has won in his career (and more will continue to be added), as well as the jerseys he wore in games and many photos from training and award ceremonies. Cooperate with the Madeira Islands government to promote tourism in your hometown with celebrity effect. Even if you are not a Clang fan, I highly recommend this place to everyone that can tell good hometown stories🤟🏻

Very disappointing experience with Madeira Cable Car. We waited far too long, and the staff were rude. The price was very high for the service we received. For the amount we paid, we expected better organisation and respectful treatment. In our experience, it was not worth the money.

We watched the sunrise at Pico do Arieiro. We arrived at 7:30 and there were a lot of people already. The sunrise was at around 8 am. After that we did hiking to Pico Ruivo. The board said it would take 3 to 3 and a half hours, but it took us around 2 and a half hours. We did not continue to Achada Do Teixeira, which needs another hour, because we came with rented car and we needed to go back to Pico do Arieiro to pick up our car. We found out later most people arranged a pick up at Achada Do Teixeira, so they did not need to go back to Pico do Arieiro. Although it was not an easy hike, the view was amazing. Most people wear proper hiking clothes and shoes and bring food and water. There is a small cafe close to the top of Pico Ruivo.
