Planten un Blomen is a very beautiful park where you can spend a few hours people watching or to have a picnic. We were here recently on a sunny Saturday afternoon and there were plenty of flowers in bloom. You can also see the Heinrich Hertz Tower from the park. Highly recommend to visit the park on sunny day and/ or during the spring season. read more

Planten un Blomen - May 9, 2026 - Botanical Gardens Near Me - Hamburg, HH

What a beautiful park! I walked through on a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon. The park was PACKED so be ready. Tons of family and kids. There is a huge play area for kids. I don't take any pictures as I don't want to post pictures of other peoples children. But it's a great spot to take the kids to play. There is a water play area as well. There are places to buy food and a beer garden as well. Also a great spot to take pictures! Loved it here!! read more

Every city vacation needs to be balanced with a trip to the park. Mother Nature makes her beautiful presence known at Planten Un Blomen. One of Hamburg's biggest park, it begs to be explored: several fountains on sprawling grass areas -- why yes, please lay your blanket all around -- there's an ice cream store for the kids, lots of flowering plants and magnificent trees. Find your own sweet spot and sit on an adirondack chair or a park bench: read a book, talk to a friend, laugh with your kid or just people watch. Relax. Breathe. Live. read more

The Planten un Blomen ("Pflanzen und Blumen", or "Plants and Flowers" in low-german) is a large park smack in the middle of Hamburg. The park itself is very large and diverse, and is delightful for joggers, photographers, tourists and just people strolling by. Different areas of the park are designed to capture a different type of scenery, so you'll see traditional park offerings as well as japanese-style gardens and gazebos and picturesque, artistic flower patterns. Planten un Blomen is a wonderful place to breathe some different air and experience a different kind of atmosphere. Despite being right in the heart of the busiest commercial area in Hamburg, the park seems to have an invisible bubble around it, unaffected by the commotion of the city. There's a lot to see around Planten un Blomen, so make sure you're wearing your walking shoes. If you happen to be in the area on a Summer's eve, walk over to the park's lake where a waterworks show takes place every Summer night at 21:00. Here's a video I captured with my cellphone of the waterworks show. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB8SY9y6lq8 read more

I was quite pleased to find a place like this existing in Hamburg. Coming from a city known for its public parks and lots of green, the chance to sit here for an afternoon was more than welcome. The layout can be a bit cumbersome, as the paths seems to go on forever, intertwining and crossing. The maps on the large plaques are quite useless, so just don't try to fight it and walk your way through. Find a spot on the grass, crack your beer and enjoy whatever scenery you end up at. (Hint: I don't recommend the area with the water cannons as it's quite loud and the WHOOOOOSCCCCH can be a buzzkill.) read more

Beautiful park in the heart of Hamburg. My advice: go there in summer, sometime between 6 and 8 p.m.! It's light enough to see the gorgeous flowers just walk around and enjoy it! But remember: 10p.m. the Wasserlichtspiele (artistical light/water/music show) begin be in time to save yourselves a bench near the park's lake. ;) read more

This park is absolutely mind blowing. Now that I've discovered it, I want to see it everyday before we go back home. I'm craving it and have officially become a Planten in Blomen addict. Everywhere you look, you're blown away with incredible flowers, trees, and water (a perfect representation of Hamburg itself). There are ducks that are clearly used to being fed and will come and be your friend if you're willing to live up to expectations. There are many many benches and individual seats, which is great for anyone with mobility issues, kids, tired feet or the desire to read a book in the midst of a park that will blow up your mind with beauty. The thing is so huge, I can't wait to see what else is there. There's also an incredibly imaginative playground that I highly recommend you taking your children to, whether they're super young or just young at heart. read more

Planten un Blomen - Pictures can't even begin to capture how insanely gorgeous this park is. And right in the middle of the city too! Incredible. - Botanical Gardens Near Me - Hamburg, HH

Simply breathtaking, definitely one of the must see places in Hamburg. Best if you visit in the summer when there is a fountain light-show which is amazing. We go biking from time to time there or to read a book on the sun, taking chillaxing to the next level :) read more

Very nice park, with different themes originating of different parts of the world. There are also enough kiosks which you can get drinks or ice cream. Also there is one small fountain which is not superb but still interesting to sit and watch it for some times. If you are lucky, then you might also see a rainbow through the fountain. read more

Beautiful, huge, gorgeous, shiny, colourful, well maintained, breathtaking, amazing park in the middle of an amazingly beautiful city! If you're in Hamburg in the spring or summer, this is a must see! Even in winter and autumn it's quite pretty, but obviously the blooming seasons are better. There's a huge rose garden with smells amazing when in full bloom, plenty of fountains, trickling waterways and tiny bridges throughout the park. It's such a delight! There are benches throughout and in certain areas you can absolutely bring a picknick blanket and set yourself up for a lovely afternoon. Trust me, as a hay fever sufferer, this park is well worth the extra dose of antihistamines! read more

Planten un Blomen is the place to be for nature lover, photo enthusiasts or for people who just wanted to have a break from the busy city.

Mit fast 1.600 Parks, großen Privatgrundstücken mit Gärten, Agrarflächen im Stadtgebiet und mit 36 Naturschutzgebieten ist Hamburg die grünste Großstadt Deutschlands. Einer der schönsten Parks ist auch einer der ältesten: Planten un Bloomen. Schon Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden Teile der ehemals bis zu 20 Meter hohen und von tiefen Wassergräben umgebenen Stadtbefestigung zurück gebaut. Irgendwie blieben die Gräben im Nordwesten. Es gab einen Friedhof hier und einen Zoo. Und - wenn man mit jemandem durch den Park geht, der sich auskennt - findet man immer noch Relikte. Seit 1897 gab es 7 Gartenausstellungen in diesen einzigartigen Anlagen, die jede dazu beitrug, einen unvergleichlichen, grünen Ort inmitten der Stadt zu schaffen. Garten und Kunst vereinen sich hier spielerisch. Die Eisbahn im Winter ist weniger für Schnellläufer als für stolpernde Tänzer. Lounge Chairs erlauben es, inmitten der Großstadt zu rasten, zu ruhen, während Kinder sich mit Wasserspielen vergnügen können. Bislang immer ein Highlight im Sommer: die Wasserorgel, die - von Virtuosen gespielt - am Dämmerung den Parksee in ein atemberaubendes Licht- und Musikereignis verwandelte, von dem man irgendwie ein wenig 'beseelt' nach Hause ging. read more

The planten un blomen is the Central Park of Hamburg. Magical, enchanting, and a beautiful scenery. This park is never abandoned, at any time of the day youll find people jog, walk their dogs, relax or just enjoy the parks nature. Try to avoid the weekends though..as it will be too crowded. All the way through the park you can find chairs, perfect in summer, to sit down and relax and/or enjoy the surrounding. The park features various concerts during summer, as well as the famous fountainshow, illuminated with rainbow-colours and classical music. Truly magical. The childerns playground near the Cafe Seeterrassen makes you want to be 10years old again, only because you know that this playground will the most fun ever! The amount of enthousiastic kids screaming, laughing and chatting might resemble your own childhood. Just a stone away from my condo, the planten un blomen is the perfect opportunity to escape the hectic vibe of the city. Ok, Hamburg is not that hectic, but you can always use some peace and quiet every now and then. The japanese gardens, beautiful flowers and numerous cosy nooks makes it a veritable sanctuary... read more

Planten und Blomen is generally great. It has: - an absolutely amazing play area for kids - loads of fish ponds - a boating lake - lots of concrete that people in the '70s must have thought looked futuristic - a wide range of plants & trees It's located between Sternshanze station and Dammtor, with the Hamburg Conference centre at one end and the Exhibition halls at the other. It's a lovely oasis in the centre of Hamburg read more

Wonderful place to walk and visit. Lively art and water features. A definite must see in Hamburg

Without a doubt one of the main places to visit in Hamburg, especially in the Summer. It is a huge place reaching between 3 subway stations. There is something for everyone there. There is a kid's playground there is a chinese garden, and there is a small place where you can play chess with big figures (real size see photos). You can go there and virtually get lost. There is so much to see than you must plan at least 2-3 h to visit it. As the photos are worth more than 1000 words, please take a look at what to expect (I have uploaded some). read more

Planten un Blomen (eng. Plants and flowers) is a beautiful park in the center of Hamburg. There is a lot to explore and see, my favorite place so far is the conservatory which can be visited for free. Furthermore there is a japanese garden, a rose garden, playgrounds, an ice ring in the winter and lots more. read more

Wow, this place is gorgeous, big and diverse. A lot of stuff to do for kids and toddlers. Beautiful plants, nice benches and peaceful setting. Highly recommended! read more

Uh, wow. Simply put, this was the centerpiece of my visit to Hamburg. It's a huge, beautiful park, very well-designed. It somehow evoked both Scandanavian and Japanese design. Just when I thought I had seen everything in the park, I'd discover a new area. I could have spent all day there. Definitely worth visiting. read more

A great place to spend a warm afternoon or a great way of getting from one part of Hamburg to another. they also have classical music evenings in summer. read more

Really nice place to spend time alone, with family and friends! So relaxing a beautiful with tons of flowers and nature!

Very refreshing, especially in the warmer days of the year. The fountain show has already been mentioned, and as the program changes every week, you can get here often without beeing bored by monotony. Then one should sit by the lake, drink some wine, have some Sushi from the Gänsemarkt nearby or live it the hanseatic style by drinking a chilled beer, maybe accompanied by some chilled girl =) That's the way it should be! read more

This is Hamburgs version of a botanical garden. There are sections devoted to a variety of intersts. Fist you have the gardens, then there are several childrens play areas, even one with splash ponds and water cannons. There is also a small ampitheater for all sorts of performances (concerts, theater, dance etc.). There are one or two cafes withing the gardens for casual fare. This is a must see for family's especial when the weather is nice. Not sure if they still have an icering during the winter. read more

We went during the evening for the water show which was nice as it was done to music. Quite the turnout from the locals and tourists alike and the best seating is up on one of the hills so you can look down on the scene without someone standing in your way. They don't have much parking so plan on walking a little. We found a spot up on Sankt Petersburg Strasse which allowed us to walk in a side gate and be right at the show which is at the top of the garden area. We went back the next morning and it is a delightful property with one of the best rose gardens we have seen. We have been to Butchart Gardens and this section is on par with them. They have all these other flowers mixed in with the roses for a beautiful combination which is amazing. If you like super manicured gardens this may not be for you but we like the free flowing garden with a wandering feel and this was it. Highly recommend!! read more
