Fodor's Expert Review Palmengarten und Botanischer Garten

The splendid cluster of tropical and semitropical greenhouses here contains cacti, orchids, palms, and other plants. The surrounding park, which can be surveyed from a miniature train, has many recreational facilities, including a small lake where you can rent rowboats, a play area for children, and a wading pool. The Palmengarten offers free tours on a variety of topics on Sundays. In summer there's also an extensive concert program that takes place in an outdoor pavilion. In addition to exhibition galleries, two restaurants offer quick bites or full meals.
