Flora und Botanischer Garten Köln

An amazing way to spend a couple hours! Features numerous areas with a variety of different plant species from across the globe. The main garden and fountain area is breathtaking, as well as the other water gardens. It feels like an adventure traveling through each area!

What an amazing spacious garden. It was quite a walk from the Cologne’s Cathedral but it was really worth it. The leaves were changing color and you can see just how pretty and lively the colors are. I could spend a whole day just chilling and enjoying the nature here. Shame the greenhouse was under renovation so I couldn’t get in but I’d love to one day come back during summer and see how green and amazing the flowers look like.

Lovely botanical garden to walk around. The garden has different areas so you can see the tropical plants in the hot houses (though they aren't open to enter yet), the formal planted area, and more foresty areas. There are also some nice fountains and a cafe with a big outdoor terrace. There is no charge to enter the gardens. From the tram station you can walk through the outside of the zoo to get there.

What a place! Huge park with an extraordinary amount of plants from all over the world. Beautifully taken care of. The flowers looked marvelous even in the August heat. A very calm place in the heart of a busy metropolis, I highly recommend it!

Botanical garden with a wide variety of catalogued plants. It's a great tour for families and children, and there's also a zoo right next door. The train stops right in front, admission is free, and in winter it closes at 5:00 PM because it gets dark after that.

A truly peaceful and enjoyable place, definitely worth a visit in Cologne. Entrance is free, and you’ll find plants, flowers, and trees from all around the world. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with plenty of benches where you can sit, read a book, study, or simply relax and enjoy nature. The Café Restaurant inside the garden is also worth a stop, offering tasty dishes and interesting presentations that make the visit even more delightful. The only downside was that many of the indoor greenhouses were closed for renovation. Hopefully, they will reopen soon, which will make the experience even better. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and refreshing break surrounded by nature. 🌿✨

Went to The Botanical Gardens on our last day as a chill experience. Used public transport to get there from the centre of Cologne and the trip was quick and efficient. The gardens are free to entry and are a brief walk away from the train terminal. You need to walk between the Zoo and Aquarium, this makes it a interesting excursion as you could also factor these in on your visit. The gardens themselves were well maintained and beautiful. There are plenty of benches around for you to sit on to take in the beauty of the area. On our visit the cafe/bar wasn't open so would advise to bring some drinks/snacks with you depending on how long you intend to explore. There are a couple of toilets around the site which cost 50 cents, these are clean and well maintained.

This is a beautiful garden that is peaceful and perfect for a breath of fresh air and nature. There are essentially no tourists. There are tons of flowers ans trees with short descriptions about each plant's breed and original.

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.
