Monte Palace Tropical Gardens are situated in Madeira, Portugal. The gardens belong to a beautiful palace that was a famous hotel in the 18th Century, but the Palace is now a museum and the gardens are open to the public. The garden itself is large and on multi-levels with exotic trees, flowers and ponds all linked with pathways. Several zones follow themes and there are two oriental sections with red handrails and pagodas reminiscent of Japanese style as can be clearly seen in this image. You can also see that standing on one of the upper levels of the gardens provides a wonderful view down toward Funchal and the sea, albeit it was quite hazy the day I visited after a storm.
