MONTE PALACE TROPICAL GARDEN
Madeira Travel Series

(after publishing this post, the news reached me about the horrible fires in Funchal. My thoughts are with everyone there and hope it's under control as soon as possible!!)

Tijdens onze vakantie op Madeira brachten we tevens een bezoekje aan de Monte Palace Tropical Garden. De tuin ligt vlakbij Funchal en kun je het beste bereiken per auto, of met de kabelbaan: de Teleférico. Dit laatste besloten wij te doen. In 15 minuutjes brengt deze je de berg op, waarna je uitstapt voor de deur van de tropische tuin. Tickets zijn te koop bij de kabelbaan zelf. 

During our vacation in Madeira, we also visited the Monte Palace Tropical Garden. This garden is located close to Funchal and is best reached by car or with the cable car: the Teleférico. In 15 minutes this car will bring you up the mountain, where you will exit the cable car in front of the Tropical Garden. Tickets are for sale at the cable car office itself.

Dus... nu de tropische tuin! Na heel wat tuinen te hebben bezocht in mijn leven (ook in het buitenland), kan ik zeggen dat dit toch één van de mooiste is. Met 70.000m² in totaal, liet het me erg denken aan Versailles, maar ook aan de Sissi films. Het was zo sprookjesachtig! Alles klopte gewoon; de bloemen, de decoratie, het paleis. Ga hier absoluut heen als je naar Madeira gaat! Oja, en trek goede schoenen aan en laat je slippers thuis; want het is heel wat stappen om alles te kunnen zien!

So... now the tropical garden! After having visited many gardens in my life (also in foreign countries), I can definitely say that this is one of the prettiest gardens I have ever seen. With the 70.000 square metres in total, it reminded me of Versailles, but also the Sissi movies. It looked like a fairytale! Everything was simply perfect; the flowers, the decorations, the palace. You should definitely visit it when you are in Madeira! Oh, and please wear proper shoes and leave your flipflops at home; because you have to walk quite a lot if you want to see everything!
