The Flower Festival is a celebration of spring that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Stunning carpets of natural flowers fill the city’s main arteries, attracting the attention of visitors with their colourful beauty.
The festival’s main attraction is the Flower Parade, where flower-bedecked floats make their way through the streets of Funchal accompanied by hundreds of people dressed in costumes lavishly adorned with flowers.
There are also other flower-themed initiatives, like the “Wall of Hope”, where children place flowers symbolising hope for world peace.
While here, be sure to visit one of the many parks and gardens that the city has to offer.
