We normally walk through Santa Catarina Park on our way into Funchal, to enjoy the peace and quiet, but also the displays of flowers, which, depending on the time of year vary from eally nice to fabulous.

We have been to this park on all our visits and it always impresses us . It has a small café overlooking the ornamental lake and is an ideal place to take a drink .It has beautiful views towards the mountains and Funchal's marina and port ,and is an ideal stopping point when walking into the city .

This is a lovely way to spend an hour, the park is peaceful, well kept and has excellent views over the harbour. The trees and flowers are well tended and on a sunny day it is a shady place to have a break.

We enjoyed this very much and made a point of stopping off here, each time we passed. Just sitting on the grass, you get lovely views of the harbour, the marina, the bay and the hills surrounding Funchal. For a free, municipal facility, this is a lovely park.

A great place to visit, especially if you are staying at the western end of the centre of town. Just off the Avenida do Infante near the Rotunda Infante this garden has a bit of everything.
