Planten un Blomen
A large city park in the center, popular for its Japanese garden, rose garden and free nighttime water-light fountain shows in summer.
Planten un Blomen (Low German for “plants and flowers”) lies northwest of the city center. It covers about 47 hectares and links the old botanical garden with the parkland along the former city walls. The park has one of Germany’s largest Japanese gardens, a rose garden, greenhouses and a children’s playground. From May to September, a free water-light music fountain show takes place on the lake each evening around 10 p.m., and free summer concerts are also held. Entry is free, and it is a short walk from Dammtor or St. Pauli station.
