Flora and Botanical Garden

This botanical garden housing about 10,000 types of plants dates back to the 19th century and is beautifully located along the Rhine River. The main greenhouse alone, with its great assortment of plants, is worth a visit. It'll feel like you're in South America's rain forest surrounded by its exotic vegetation.

Nature lovers can find refuge in one of the city's parks, at the Botanical Garden, or at the zoo. Below is a list of the top things to do and see in Cologne, Germany:
