Is São Jorge Island worth visiting?

Yes, but only if you have the time and truly want to relax and take it easy. If you're looking for an action-packed island adventure, this might not be the place for you. However, if you want to unwind and do very little, São Jorge is a great choice. The island's pristine beaches (which you won't find on Madeira) not only offer unforgettable views but also provide a tranquil escape from reality. You can reach São Jorge by boat or take a quick 15-minute flight between Funchal Airport and São Jorge. Traveling from São Jorge Airport to any hotel on the island is both quick and convenient! There's no traffic congestion on this island! Don't make the same mistake I did—you need to stay there for at least a few days. Otherwise, you won't have enough time to enjoy everything it has to offer, and it will only cut into your time on Madeira!

Estufa Fria

If you're someone who loves to explore off-the-beaten-path spots when traveling abroad, be sure to bookmark this article. We had too many days planned in Lisbon this time. Most of the places introduced by blogs were already on our itinerary, and we didn't know where else to go. So, we turned to Google Maps for inspiration and found 'Estufa Fria.' Located within Eduardo VII Park, Estufa Fria covers a large area. To find the entrance, you must first traverse the entire garden. On a weekday afternoon, entry was free (so generous). The entire botanical garden felt very wild, almost like stepping into Jurassic Park 🤣. It's really vast. The garden is divided into three different areas: the Cold Greenhouse (Estufa Fria), the Hot Greenhouse (Estufa Quente), and the Sweet Greenhouse (Estufa Doce). Each area has its own unique plants and atmosphere, making you feel like you've entered different tropical and temperate worlds. The Cold Greenhouse boasts a unique natural environment without any artificial heating. Instead, it uses natural light and proper shading to create a climate suitable for various plants. In this area, you can see tall palm trees, ferns, and various exotic flowers, making you feel like you're in a serene tropical forest. You can explore every corner of the plants through small paths and winding trails. The Hot Greenhouse and Sweet Greenhouse, on the other hand, feature tropical and desert plants, including many cacti, orchids, and other tropical flowers. If you have ample time, I highly recommend spending some time here. You can feel the vitality of various plants in different temperatures and humidity levels in the sunlit green jungle. It's really relaxing and great for photos. Highly recommended 🤍 ✅ Estufa Fria 📍Address: Parque Eduardo VII, 1070-051 Lisboa 🕰️Opening Hours: 10:00-19:00 (Closed on Mondays)
