We start our tour with the MADEIRA BOTANICAL GARDEN, designed by William Reid in the 19th century. The gardens are a living museum of native and rare plants, and you will have incredible views of the entire city of Funchal, including the bay and mountains.
Next, we’ll Visit the MONTE PALACE GARDEN. In the 19th century, the growth of therapeutic tourism in Madeira in winter led to the construction of the “Monte Palace Hotel” due to the mild climate. The then-owner built a palace inspired by the architecture of the Rhine and decorated the garden with small lakes, water jets and winding walkways. The romantic taste of its origin did not change. The current owner embellished the garden with exotic plants such as cycads, often called “living fossils”, tree ferns and native plants from the “Laurisilva” forest, declared a Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Walking through the garden, we can also admire the famous collection of tiles, the oriental garden, the orchid garden and Karp Koi.
Then get ready to take the Funchal CABLE CAR to the Old Town. The view of the capital Funchal with its red and orange roofs, the harbour, and the sea is a must.
