Mainau Island: A garden and nature experience all year round
Spring, summer, autumn and winter: Mainau Island is always worth a visit. Each season has something special for visitors besides the ocean of flowers in the park and gardens. The Palm House and Butterfly House are unique attractions especially on cooler and rainy days. Erected on the palace terrace in 1998, the architectural design of the Palm House is a real eye-catcher. It provides shelter for more than 20 different palm species including a Canary date palm over 17 metres tall.
Visitors to the Butterfly House, one of the largest in Germany, enter a lush tropical landscape with temperatures between 20 and 30°C. 120 butterfly and moth species from different continents flutter through the air all year round. Fittingly, the gardens surrounding the Butterfly House provide the ideal habitat for native butterflies.
