Palmengarten und Botanischer Garten (Tropical Garden and Botanical Gardens)
Palmengarten und Botanischer Garten (Tropical Garden and Botanical Gardens) Review
A splendid cluster of tropical and semitropical greenhouses contains a wide variety of flora, including cacti, orchids, and palms. The surrounding park, which can be surveyed from a miniature train, has many recreational facilities, including a small lake where you can rent rowboats, a play area for children, and a wading pool. The Palmengarten offers free tours on a variety of topics on Sunday. In summer there's also an extensive concert program that takes place in an outdoor pavilion.
