Flora und Botanischer Garten Köln

Absolutely loved it! Even better than I thought it would be. Spring is obviously a great time to visit, the sun was shining and all the flowers were in full bloom. The gardens are massive and there are so many paths and different sections so it keeps it interesting as you’re always seeing something new. It’s incredible how many different species of plants they have.

Absolutely beautiful, very peaceful botanic garden with lots of nice flowers, trees. It's the perfect place to visit as a nature lover. And there were plenty of seats so you should definitely choose one and take your time watching every tone of green. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited in Cologne

Beautiful peaceful place, very calming atmosphere and amazing flowers around. There are plenty of quiet places to sit and enjoy nature. Highly recommended! The entrance is free, the park is open till 9pm during June -July.

One of not many free attractions of Cologne. You definitely need to see this beautiful place. Covering an area of 11.5 hectares, the garden is home to nearly 10,000 plant species from around the world. Notably, the Alpine Garden alone contains approximately 2,000 species of mountain plants. The garden also features extensive collections of magnolias, rhododendrons, conifers, maples, and Hamamelidaceae, as well as a medicinal plant garden and a farmer’s garden showcasing local crops

Wonderful and relaxing day walking through gardens with different flora from around the world. Some of the greenhouses were closed for renovation, but there was plenty to enjoy.

When the flowers bloom and the sun shines..it is the most beautiful place in Köln.. however I miss a proper cafe at this location as the one here has weird opening hours.

It is captivating for its harmonious blend of natural beauty, historical charm, and serene ambiance. The garden’s 12,000 plant species from around the world , arranged in diverse styles like English landscapes, French Baroque parterres, and Italian Renaissance cascades, offer a visually stunning and ever-changing tapestry of colors and textures across seasons . Strolling through shaded arcades, past waterfalls and ponds, or exploring thematic gardens like the alpine or fragrance gardens provides both relaxation and discovery.

Quite a tranquil place to spend a morning! An extensive collection of plants from around the world, the camellias were quite impressive, both indoor and out. They have what is supposedly the only palm-tree lined street in all of Germany. Many lovely gardens and paths to explore, though a shame the central building is off-limits save for the toilets. And the heated greenhouses with tropical and desert plants were under renovation during my visit. (Jan. 2025) Regardless a worthwhile stop on your trip to Koln.

Einer der schönsten Orte Kölns, vor allem im Sommer. Viele verschiedene Pflanzen und Bäume mit den dazugehörigen Schildern, sowie ein kleines Stück mit einem kleinen Teich und Steinen über die man diesen überqueren kann. Ich liebe die Flora

What a beautiful park. Full of different interesting plants in it. It quite a nice place for people who likes nature and plants. Iniside also has a historical building with nice architecture style and serval lovley gardens. Which seem not so common in Cologane. I am glad that I have visited this place. We came here as group, it was definitely a great place to catch up with friends. We went around the places. There were serval greenhouses inside with different themes. It was really interested, some plants I have never seem before. Some just simply beautiful. When we passed the lotus lake, we all took our time, sat down and chit-chat. It was great place to have a break. There was much to see in park, we were there more than an hour. The park lies not so far from the city center. It took around 10-15 by U-Bahn. It is very close to the Cologane Zoo. Beside it's quite a well-known place for the local, so just ask someone if you really need a direction. Free entrance and they got a very nice café inside.

This place is quite incredible. With all the possibilities the Flora offers I can see why it is such a popular place for parties, food or a nice walk. Many companies rent the Flora for the day or for a few hours. A great way to impress your guests because of the beauty of the Flora. The service here is top notch from when you walk in until you leave. The food they serve at the parties is amazing. With the taste and variety you will not go hungry. The nice little cafe in the back is very comfortable and let's you sit outside and enjoy the sights. The Garden is beautiful. Takes about an hour to walk the entire garden and admire the varieties of flowers. You can also get a lunch basket and have yourself a very nice picnic. A great place to visit and a must for any garden lover.

My personality is very much drawn to the city. I've never been much of an outdoorsy type of person. But, living in a city you begin to notice how the chaos, noise, and trash begin to wear on you. Which is why I'm thankful for the little pockets of nature like the Flora. Now, I'm no botanist, but it seems that the Flora has an amazing variety of flowers and other plants with different species depending on the season. Included on the grounds are numerous greenhouses and special exhibits. The Flora is perfect for the visitor as well as the long-time resident just taking a summer stroll. The only thing that the Flora is currently missing is a quality outdoor café. At the time of this review the old main building was under renovation. Hopefully, something like a Bistro or café are in the plans.

A lovely walkaround when the weather is nice. There are many different plants in the Garden coming from all over the world. A great place to take pictures. Köln is well known with its parks and gardens. "Flora und Botanischer Garten" is one of the best at the region.

OK. Im Australian so Im biased but in Cologne I really miss the smell of nature, space and living things that arent people and dogs in general! I was having a claustrophobic day today so on a whim decided to head out and check out the botanical gardens. I was expecting to see a park full of dead plants since its such a miserable winter but I was wrong. The park is well set out, although more maps and signs would be useful as I got lost a couple of times. There is a wide variety of plants and 'environments' on display. In particular the camellia gardenhouse was beautiful and I could have spent hours just sitting in there. If you want a time out from the city I would highly recommend to come here and go for a walk or sit in one of the many spaces, read a book or people watch.
