What you’re looking at

The camera is mounted on the Ritz Madeira Café terrace and looks straight down Avenida Arriaga, the tree-lined boulevard that runs from the Sé cathedral end of town up towards Santa Catarina park. In frame you get the jacaranda avenue, the pavement cafés, the municipal gardens on one side and the flow of pedestrians and buses along the road. This is the stage for almost every big public event in Funchal: the Carnival parade route, the Flower Festival cortege, the Madeira Wine Festival stalls, the Christmas lights switch-on and the street concerts that run through the Atlantic Festival in June.

Best time to check this camera

During festival weeks this is the camera to have open, parades along Avenida Arriaga usually start in the early evening, from around 18:00 to 21:00 local time, and the avenue fills for an hour beforehand. Outside event season it is a good pulse-check on how busy central Funchal is: mid-morning shows the café trade and cruise-passenger crowds, while late November onwards the Christmas illuminations turn the whole avenue gold after dark.

Questions about this camera

Can you watch Madeira's Carnival and Flower Festival parades on this webcam?

Yes. Avenida Arriaga is the main parade route in Funchal, so the Carnival cortege, the Flower Festival parade and the Wine Festival street events all pass directly in front of this camera. Parades typically run in the early evening, and the avenue is busy for an hour before the first float appears.

Where is the Avenida Arriaga webcam located?

It is mounted at the Ritz Madeira Café on Avenida Arriaga in central Funchal, looking along the boulevard towards the municipal gardens. The feed is operated by MadeiraWeb and distributed by Webcamtaxi.
