In Madeira, casual Western-style clothing is completely normal and accepted everywhere, including in cities, rural areas, and tourist spots. π§’π
Light clothing is recommended during the day, especially from spring to autumn, as the island enjoys a mild, subtropical climate. Think T-shirts, shorts, light trousers, and summer dresses. π©³π
Evenings can be cooler, especially in the mountains, so bring a light jacket or sweater just in case. π¬οΈπ§₯
For hikes and levada walks, wear comfortable hiking shoes, sportswear, and a hat, and donβt forget sunscreen and a reusable water bottle. π₯Ύπ§΄π§’
Swimwear is of course fine at the beach or pool, but cover up when leaving those areas β walking shirtless through town isnβt common. ποΈπ«π
There are no religious or cultural dress codes you need to worry about. Just dress for the weather and your activities, and youβll be perfectly fine. βοΈπ¦οΈ
