Jardim António Borges

Jardim António Borges is a historic botanical garden in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, created in the 19th century by businessman António Borges Medeiros. Known for its winding paths, exotic trees, ponds, grottoes, and curious stone features, it offers a quieter, more imaginative alternative to the city’s formal parks. Visitors interested in gardens, photography, or a short, atmospheric walk will find it especially rewarding. Its central location also makes it an easy stop while exploring Ponta Delgada.
