Botanical Garden
Botanischer Garten Düsseldorf
We love the Botanical Garden at Heinrich Heine University. Not only is it a great place to see cherry blossoms, but you’ll also find a wide variety of plants and flowers from all around the world.
Address: Universitätsstraße 1, Düsseldorf
EKŌ-Haus of Japanese Culture
Though its great for a visit any time of year, the EKŌ-Haus of Japanese Culture’s perfectly manicured garden and colorful cherry blossoms are especially impressive in the spring. The stone bridge, lanterns and temple add to the authentic ambiance.
After exploring the garden, take a self guided tour of the Japanese house and temple.
Address: Brüggener Weg 6, Düsseldorf
Schloss Benrath & Gardens
Schloss Benrath is a beautiful palace surrounded by ca. 61 hectares of blooming gardens and woodlands. There’s a large garden to the right of the main palace building, which we highly recommend. In addition, there are miles of walking paths, a reflecting pond and several nice fountains. An absolute highlight!
Address: Benrather Schlossallee 100-108, Düsseldorf
Schwanenspiegel
This relaxing green space is tucked away in the heart of the city. It’s home to flowering plants and trees, a nice pond, walking paths and the K21 art museum.
Address: K21 Kunstsammlung, Ständehausstraße 1, Düsseldorf
Rheingärtchen
A little park that’s big on charm. With an abundance of flowers, this is one of the most colourful spots in the city for its size. And because its perched above the Rhein, you’ll have a great view of the water too. From here it’s just a quick walk across the street to our next recommendation.

Art meets nature: Thousands of incredibly colorful tulips are known to bloom along the pathways that connect the Museum Kunstpalast art museum and Tonhalle performing arts venue each Spring.

Nordpark
This sprawling park has it all, including an impressive reflecting pond with fountains, expansive flower beds, sculptures and a variety of gardens. It’s also home to the newly reopened Aquazoo, which is a great attraction for families.
Tulip Garden at Nordpark
