Art all along the doors of this historic street. There are a lot of restaurants along the way if you want to sit and people watch as well

Definitely beautiful walk!!! Don’t miss it!!! It is unique experience!!!
Not only one street is decorated. Also some of the side ones are worth to walk.

Nice little narrow street with splendid artwork on the doors. It has a great atmosphere.

Located in the old town in Funchal .. wonderful and vibrant artwork.

A very picturesque little road downtown Funchal! It’s filled with wall paintings! Definitely visit!

Explore the painted doors.
Rua Santa Maria is a street of mainly cafes and restarants in the old town but artists have made a feature of the doors by painting them in fantastic pictures and patterns which seem to change on a regular basis. It is known as the Art of Open Doors, although most of them are physically closed, of course.
As you stroll down the street browsing the restaurant menus and getting greeted by waiters you can always pretend that you are just here for the art.

I liked to visit this area, after we found it walking on narrow streets in Zona Velha. It is located between Farmers market and Teleferico Funchal - Monte. There are a lot of cozy restaurants and cafe, where you can take a rest if it is warm outside. I strongly recommend to visit, if you are in Funchal

Worth visiting if you are in Funchal. Great place with very colorful, interesting street art. The atmosphere is very artistic and the little streets are very nice to walk around!

Please do visit. It’s free and some amazing art work here. Plus some restaurants to grab a drink and food.

Rua de Santa Maria has a well-earned reputation for an amazing number of painted doors that are quirky, fun and interesting to see. Focus on the Joao Caetano thru das Torres section & side streets. Try one of the many bars and restaurants up and down this stretch, it is a great place to hang out, enjoy your afternoon sangria, before dinner drink or to spend the evening!

I loved it. The doors are located mainly along the oldest street in Funchal, Rua da Maria. Very diverse art.

Charming street with a lot of bars and restaurants. You should visit it.

The paintings are on various doors and wooden shutters along a few streets.

Wonderful to colour old street with art. We had much fun.

Have to see it, very Nice street art

Lovely street with fabulous door art… I hate graffiti but this is different class… proper art!

An excellent desicion for urban art and graffiti painting ! Make the street Rua de Santa Maria and the whole area so vivid!

Wonderful, eclectic art

Walk along and through the streets of Old Town Funchal to experience the outdoor exhibits of art on the doors of shops and restaurants. There are hundreds! A treat for your observant eyes.
