Planning a trip to Europe? I got you. This guide covers everything I wish I knew before my trip. This list combines value + aesthetics + real-life travel essential.
I really spent a lot of time trying to figure out Madeira because it is way more complicated than it looks on a map. I remember being so confused when I first started looking at places to stay since the weather is basically a gamble depending on where you are. I looked at so many photos that looked nice but the places were actually just old and super crowded once I got there. It was a lot to deal with. I finally went because I really needed to get away after working for years without a real break. I just wanted to go somewhere where I didn't have to check my phone or think about work at all. It was so nice to finally just sit on a balcony with a coffee and watch the clouds roll over the cliffs. It was probably the first time in forever that I actually felt relaxed. That’s exactly why I put this together. I wanted to create the list I wish I had before I went. I also added some notes on the things I actually used while I was there. This is just a simple breakdown of what worked for me and what made the trip easier. Basically a brain dump of my own experience for 2026. Hopefully it helps you skip the stress and just get to the fun part of the trip.
