"Tourist information in Funchal" Madeira Island Tourist Trap Tip by PALLINA

We went to the tourist information office in Funchal downtown and it was very useless and disappointing. Nothing more than a travel book...a basic one! They were not helpful. On the seaside there are many others but private, basically. They are even worse. We asked for some nice place where live music is played and they answer they are used to raccomand tourists to go to the Casino, where tourists can have a dinner and a show for tourist as well. it is obvious that we don't want to do what all tourists do!!!! What kind of advice is it?

Unique Suggestions: it is nonesense to go there. You'll waste your time.

Fun Alternatives: Ask to the receptionists for any kind of information about the island. They are very proud to be born there and will welcome you and give you all kind of information you may need.
