Monte Palace Tropical Garden picked as one of the World’s Most Beautiful Botanical Gardens.
Located in Monte, just outside Funchal, in Madeira Island, Monte Palace Tropical Garden has just been listed by Condé Nast Traveler magazine as one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the world.
Formerly a hotel, Monte Palace and its garden were restored and opened to the public in 1989. The garden incorporates a famous collection of ceramic Portuguese tiles, oriental gardens with Koi ponds, and a number of water features. The plant collections include both indigenous and exotic species.
Besides the botanical garden, at Monte Palace you’ll find a unique museum with two distinct areas – one dedicated to contemporary African art, the other to minerals and gems from all over the world.
On the hills above Funchal, hides one of Madeira’s greatest treasures, and one of the world’s most amazing gardens. If you’re searching for wonder, look no further.
