We started at the top and walked down. Wonderful views and amazing trees and landscaping. The begonia house is worth visiting. The cafe was good too.

take the funicular up & walk back down to town through the gardens - beautifully laid out with informative signs etc

absolotly beautiful rain held off and lawns were mowed and it wasent to far from the city, tram was so much fun...very steep hill to walk up though

We spent half a day at the gardens and it was a good break from the city. We took the tram up the mountain and walked down. The Rose Garden cafe was very good - we had lunch there. The surroundings are lovely.
