travelling to Madeira

Getting to Madeira
Funchal Airport (IATA: FNC) is in nearby Santa Cruz, sometimes known as Madeira international/Santa Catarina/Funchal. It is served by many airlines including Lufthansa, TAP, EasyJet, Air Berlin, Sata, and more. Once famous for its hair-raisingly short runway ending at a cliff over the Atlantic Ocean, the airport has been expanded to handle all sizes of aircraft.


Entering Portugal
To get into Portugal you may need a passport or a visa, depending on the country you live in and the reason why you are visiting Portugal (tourism, work or study purposes). Citizens from the European Union don't need a visa for entering Portugal. Portugal is a signatory to the 1995 Schengen Agreement.
If you are unsure about any matter concerning your travel documents, please contact your travel agent or Portuguese Embassy/Consulate based in your hometown.
