A great starting point to explore Funchal is the colourful <strong>Mercado dos Lavradores<\/strong>. There you can buy a wide range of exotic flowers, tropical fruits, vegetables, fresh fish and local handicrafts. You can also visit museums, monuments, galleries and gardens. Strolls along <strong>Funchal&#8217;s seafront<\/strong> promenade are extremely pleasant, with wonderful views of the coastline. Funchal became an important <strong>commercial port<\/strong> thanks to the sugar cane and banana trade and later the wine trade. It offers many things to see and admire:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Forte de S\u00e3o Tiago<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mercado dos Lavradores<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Zona Velha<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pra\u00e7a do Povo<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Cathedral<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>9.
