Funchal Cable Car, Gondola lift in Funchal, Portugal

The Funchal Cable Car is a detachable monocable gondola lift running 3,173 m from the bottom station at Almirante Reis Park in central Funchal up to Monte, climbing 560 m. Its 39 cabins seat seven passengers each, and the trip takes about 15 minutes. The line's third support tower stands 39 m high, and the longest span, between towers 3 and 4, measures 540 m.

The line opened around 2000 as a replacement for an older rail-based transport that had served the route since the late 1800s. This newer system continued a long tradition of connecting the lower and upper parts of the city.

The line follows the route of the Monte Railway, a cog railway that ran from 1886 until 1943; the cable car restored a fast link to Monte more than 50 years after that railway closed. Its lower station stands at Campo Almirante Reis near the old town, and the upper station at Largo das Babosas, beside Monte's tropical garden. Combination tickets with the Monte–Botanical Garden cable car are sold.

Cabins operate on a continuous loop system, allowing passengers to board and exit easily at either station when the cabin stops. Morning visits tend to offer fewer crowds and clearer views compared to afternoon and evening times.

The line was built along the route of the Monte Railway, a rack railway that ran from 1886 until 1943. More than fifty years passed before the cable car restored a fast link to Monte, opening on 15 November 2000.
