Nizza Park
Nizza Park in Frankfurt am Main is a Mediterranean-style riverside garden known for its unique microclimate and exotic flora. Stretching along the northern bank of the River Main between Friedensbrücke and Untermainbrücke, Nizza Park offers a surprising southern flair in the heart of Germany. Its south-facing position, sheltered by quay walls and warmed by reflected sunlight from the river, creates ideal conditions for frost-resistant Mediterranean plants such as palms, fig trees, and lemon trees. Covering 4.42 hectares, it is one of the largest publicly accessible gardens of southern European vegetation north of the Alps. The park’s origins date back to the 19th century, when city gardener Sebastian Rinz envisioned extending Frankfurt’s Wallanlagen green belt to the river. Though his plans were only partially realized, the area evolved into a popular promenade with a Riviera-like atmosphere. Renovated between 1999 and 2006, Nizza Park now blends historical charm with botanical diversity, offering a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike.
