Snapshots of the past – history brought to life

Away from the noise and bustle, Germany's Palaces, Parks and Gardens give you the chance to relax, see the sights, or simply stroll around. They are masterpieces of their time and have lost none of their appeal over the centuries.

These superb historical attractions reflect the courtly traditions of old, combine natural beauty and architecture, and will whisk you back to days long past. One of the many places in which flowers offer a visual and sensual feast is Palmengarten Frankfurt. Another oasis of green in the heart of a city is Bürgerpark Bremen, whereas Duisburg-Nord Industrial Landscape Park presents a symbiosis of history and high-tech.
