April 17, 2022,Botanischer Garten und Monte, Madeira, Portugal

The botanical garden in Funchal is absolutely recommendable, from my point of view "a must" when visiting Madeira. We also recommend the ride up with the cable car and down again with the sled (about half the distance, then either walk or take a taxi). We preferred walking.
