CR7 Museum — Attraction in Funchal

It's definitely worth visiting the CR7 Museum for the entry price of €5 (adults and children aged 10 and above).

If you're not a football fan but visiting Madeira with somebody who is, I would say it's still worth at least a brief visit if only because, at €5, the experience isn't too expensive, it won't take up much of your time and the trophies, as well as the replicas, do give a very clear sense of what awards actually look like up close. You won't be burdened by lots of detail.

For real football fans that's the downside because it's not a museum in the traditional sense of exhibits with detailed explanations of the individual trophies or biographical timeliness. It is more a very large trophy room with an impressive range of achievements and awards on display. I can see how people would be disappointed by the lack of a more informative design.

There is a video screen exhibit that allows you to select career highlight goals, skills and near misses for viewing and it's very well designed - there's something of interest there for everybody in terms of the clubs he's played at.

For €5 extra, you can have your picture taken against a backdrop with Ronaldo interacting with you. I'm surprised to say, it's actually very well done and worth the €5!

The staff in the exhibit part of the CR7 Museum were friendly. We didn't ask them for information on individual trophies but I'm sure that if we did, they would have provided information.

There's clothing and other memorabilia for sale upstairs including genuine football jerseys. There are also t-shirts and hoodies which are quite reasonably priced - €25 for a t-shirt and €25 for a school backpack with the CR7 logo and Ronaldo's silhouette on it. I haven't seen most of the items on sale elsewhere and these items are, of course, official items.

It's possible to have tea/coffee in the CR7 hotel albeit at hotel prices.

To be honest, with the friendly staff, I can't fault the experience and as long as you don't expect a conventional museum tour, you probably won't be...

Visiting the CR7 Museum in Funchal is truly a rewarding experience for anyone who admires Cristiano Ronaldo or is passionate about football history. From the very first moment you step inside, the atmosphere is filled with pride, inspiration, and the unique spirit of Madeira’s most famous son.

The museum is beautifully designed, modern, and easy to navigate. Every corner highlights Ronaldo’s remarkable journey – from his modest beginnings on the island to becoming a global icon. What I especially appreciated was the personal touch: the exhibits aren’t just about trophies and medals (although the dazzling collection of Ballon d’Ors, Golden Boots, and championship cups is extraordinary!). They also tell the story of hard work, dedication, and the unshakable determination that defines Ronaldo’s career.

There are interactive displays, photo opportunities, and even a statue of the champion himself, perfect for visitors who want a keepsake moment. Everything is presented with professionalism and pride, reflecting not only Ronaldo’s achievements but also Madeira’s sense of belonging to his success.

Whether you are a dedicated football fan, a casual admirer, or just curious about Madeira’s cultural highlights, this is a must-see attraction in Funchal.
