Although, from one quick look at the map, it may seems that getting to Madeira is long and pricey journey, it's not really true.

Nowadays there are many direct flight from Europe which can cost you under 200 dollars return. Those flights can take only about three four hours. You can try connections from London, Amsterdam or Lisboa. But there are many more cities you can fly to Madeira.

Good news! Weather in Madeira doesn't have to play a big part in vacation planning. The temperatures are nicely stable throughout the year which makes Madeira a dream destination! Although winter can be slightly more rainy with lower temperatures in the night and early mornings.

If you can, I would recommend you to stay at least 10 days! And if you have three weeks, then fine, take it slowly and soak all the relaxing vibes in!
