5Madeira, Portugal
Often called the “Floating Garden of the Atlantic,” Madeira enjoys eternal spring thanks to its subtropical location and mild ocean currents. Average temperatures linger between 18°C and 25°C year-round.
In Funchal, bougainvillea drapes over balconies and the air smells of sea salt and flowers. You can hike through misty laurel forests, swim in natural lava pools, or sail along the coast under a golden sunset. Madeira’s natural beauty thrives under an always-gentle sun, making it a favorite for travelers escaping harsh winters.
