Music in Museums

  There's a series of concerts  taking place roughly monthly in four of Funchal's museums: the Cidade do Açúcar Museum , the Henrique e Francisco Franco Museum , the Natural History Museum and Monte Station . The programme can be found here where tickets can also be purchased.  Alternatively, tickets (5 euros) can be purchased from the ticket office at the Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias.

According to the local press, the introduction of entrance charges for the Cabo Girão viewing point have led to periodic queues.  More ticket machines have been ordered.  It is possible to buy tickets online in advance. The local authorities have produced a video showing to do it.
