Mercado dos Lavradores is the vibrant heart of Funchal, where Madeira's flavors, colors, and traditions meet and celebrate.

Mercado dos Lavradores, located in the heart of Funchal, is more than just a market; it’s a true gathering place of Madeiran cultures and traditions. Since its opening in 1940, the market has been the meeting point where locals and visitors come together to buy tropical fruits, exotic flowers, fresh fish, and local crafts. The market’s architecture, with its art deco style, is an attraction in itself, complemented by tile panels depicting scenes from the island’s rural life. A stroll through the market is a sensory experience, where the intense aromas and vibrant colors create an atmosphere that captivates all the senses.
Curiosity: The market is the place to try the famous poncha, Madeira’s traditional drink, available at several stalls.
Hopening Hours: Monday to Friday, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm; Saturday, from 07:00 to 14:00
