Jardim Botânico António Borges

Jardim Botânico António Borges is a charming botanical garden founded in the mid-19th century by a local entrepreneur and politician with a passion for botany.

This romantic spot delights with winding paths, grottoes and small bridges that lead through lush vegetation.

The garden is famous for its unique collection of exotic plants from around the world, including rare species of palms, dragon trees and myrtles. It is also home to Azorean fauna, including endemic subspecies of birds and the Azores' only endemic mammal, the Azorean bat.

There's a playground for the little ones, and a cozy café for those who want to relax.
