Madeira at an easy pace: 8 days
Madeira for parents and anyone who likes spring all year round: a week in Funchal, cable cars to Monte and the botanical garden, a market full of fruit, the glass-floored Cabo Girão viewpoint, one level levada walk through the forest and a trip to the north coast with a driver. Around 17–25 °C all year. Book everything yourself and keep this guide on your phone: it works offline.

From Central Europe you'll usually fly to Madeira via Lisbon, with some direct charter flights in season. The Aerobus runs from the airport to Funchal in about 30–40 minutes; a taxi is quicker. Stay in the Lido area or the centre near the seafront.
