Visitors can stroll on foot or by electric car through the alleys and see plants from several countries, get to know the greenhouses (Orchids, Bromeliads, Ferns, and Insectivorous Plants) and the thematic gardens and collections, such as the Japanese Garden, created in 1935 from the donation of 65 specimens of typical Japanese plants.
Among the monuments are the Visitor's Center - a 16th century construction -, the Eco and Narcissus statues made by Master Valentim, and the Fine Arts Academy Portal, designed by Grandjean de Montigny. The Botanical Garden is also a good place for bird watching.
