Jardim Antonio Borges (Municipal Garden)

Not only for botanists, this charming garden really deserves a visit! Located northwest of the city centre, this garden, which was originally founded as a private garden in the 19th century by the pineapple cultivator of the same name, is today a very pleasantly laid-out public green space with many beautiful specimens from all over the world, especially noteworthy is a superb Indian rubber tree with its peculiar roots coming out from everywhere, making this tree look like a giant octopus. There are also fountains and a café with a nice esplanade… a pleasant place to while away a little!
