Monte Palace Tropical Gardens
Madeira, Portugal

Monte Palace Tropical Gardens

Type: garden

Spacious gardens in the Monte district that combine exotic plants, lakes, waterfalls, and art collections from various parts of the world. Visitors can stroll through Japanese gardens, among tropical plants, and along paths adorned with traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles. Due to steep paths and the large area, it is recommended to set aside at least two hours for the visit.
