You can always find a quiet corner here. The atmosphere is also lovely in the morning (it opens at 8 a.m.) or in the evening (the garden closes at dusk – in summer, at the latest, 9 p.m.). Incidentally, "Flora" refers only to the building and a small part of the park. You can find lots of information, including about its history, here: freundeskreis-flora-koeln.de

Hiking

Again and again, the flora is an experience, in every season. In January, the early flowering already sprout and one suspects the near spring. In the local time garden one experiences the changes of the seasons and the preparations for a new harvest. The show greenhouses present exotic plants in tropical homes. The recreational value is high and the knowledge about the different plants is deepened.

Hiking

The flora is the botanical garden of the city of Cologne. He shows more than 10,000 native and exotic plant species, partly outdoors and partly in greenhouses. The focal point of the 1864 opened plant is also called Flora Festhaus, which was originally built as a palm house.
