You can also hire a journalist fixer through your coordinator, should you need one for your documentary. Here are a handful of locations Madeira is known for, both for travel and filming.
Funchal
The capital of the Madeira archipelago, Funchal is the main city of the islands and home to 110.000 residents. It is the main center for culture, history, art, infrastructure, and tourism. The city boasts a history dating back to the 1500s. Filming here is the right choice for productions regarding the culture and history of the Portuguese islands. Make sure you ask your production coordinator in Madeira, or your location scout, for the appropriate places to shoot.
Porto Santo Island
Located to the northeast of the main island of the archipelago, Porto Santo Island is a favorite with tourists coming to Madeira for fun, exploring, and relaxation. Among the main attractions of the island are the serene Porto Santo Beach, the Pico de Ana Ferreira rock formations, the famous Portuguese Quinta das Palmeiras and others. Make sure to ask your production coordinator in Madeira for advice on where to shoot while on this interesting island.

Monte Palace
Considered one of the top gardens in the world, the world-famous Monte Palace is a sight to see. Located right outside the city of Funchal, the botanical garden stretches over 70.000 square meters of land. It hosts one of the largest collections of exotic plants from all over the globe. This makes it a top appropriate spot for tourists and filming crews alike. Hire a journalist fixer while here, as they will find the right people for you to interview for your production.
Porto Moniz
If you and your crew are looking for picturesque port cities on Madeira’s main islands, be it for b-rolls or actual production, Porto Moniz is the place. The little city is located at the northwestern tip of the main island, being home to just 3000 inhabitants. The main attraction of the city is the natural swimming pools where you can take a dip in the ocean while being surrounded by rocky hills. Ask your location scout for advice on where to shoot while in town.
