The panorama is out of this world: dramatic peaks, winding roads, terraced fields, and the tiny orange rooftops of the valley village far below. The walkways and stair paths around the viewpoint make it easy to explore different angles—and trust us, you’ll want to take about a hundred photos.

Whether you come by car, bus, or on foot, Eira do Serrado offers a perspective that’s pure Madeira magic. It’s not just a viewpoint, it’s the viewpoint.
