Flora und Botanischer Garten

  Flora und Botanischer Garten stands at the heart of Cologne, just off the busy Aachener Straße. Dating back to 1863, this botanical garden serves as a vital center for the study and conservation of plant species, housing over 10,000 species spread across its 11 hectares. One of its main features is the stunning palm house, showcasing tropical plants in a climate-controlled environment. Visitors can explore the gardens year-round, but spring, particularly in April and May, is a vibrant time when many flowers bloom, adding splashes of color to the landscape. Whether you’re meandering through the lush pathways or enjoying a quiet moment by the pond, Flora und Botanischer Garten offers a refreshing escape right in the city.
