Situated about 4kms north east of Funchal centre, the Botanical Gardens were opened to the public in 1960 and are regarded as some of the finest in Portugal. The garden is divided into six main areas, Arboretum, Indigenous Plants, Succulent Plants, Agricultural Plants, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, and Palm Trees. There is, in addition, a bird park with about 300 species. The intricately patterned formal gardens are a particular delight and there are more than 2,000 exotic plants from all over the world. From the terraces, there are delightful views of Funchal and its port.
