Hotel Quinta Mirabela is located in Caminho do Monte. Caminho Do Monte is a popular road used for the 'Toboggan Ride'. Visitors can hire a 'toboggan' which is a cane basket in which two people can sit. This toboggan is controlled by ropes pulled by two men. The ride is 2km down the Monte.
Funchal is a paradise for those who like to explore cities by foot without having to depend on transport. And for those who just hate walking, Funchal offers sightseeing buses which tour around Funchal in half a day. Visitors can get off wherever they want and be picked up again in any of the bus stops.
Other attraction worth to experience is the journey on cable-car to Monte offering stunning views of Funchal. A modern cable-car has replaced the old funicular that used to connect Funchal with Monte. The ride takes about 15 minutes.
Finally, Funchal is full of taxis which are fairly good value.
