Passport/Visa
You will require a full 10-year British passport valid for at least 6 months after your return to the UK. Holders of full British passports do not require visas. A minor under the age of 18 travelling to Portugal must either be accompanied by a parent or guardian, be met at the airport or point of entry by a parent or guardian, or carry a letter of authorisation to travel from a parent or guardian. The letter should name the adult responsible for the minor during his/her stay.
Trivia
The name ‘Funchal’ comes from a sweet-smelling wild herb called Foeniculum vulgare, more commonly known as fennel, which was abundant in the city when the first settlers arrived.
