About

The Princely Garden in Arnhem is a small but enchanting historic garden tucked behind the provincial government buildings, offering a quiet retreat in the heart of the city. Inspired by 17th‑century ornamental garden design, it features symmetrical flowerbeds, neatly trimmed hedges, and elegant pathways that evoke the atmosphere of a noble estate. Seasonal blooms add colour throughout the year, while the intimate layout makes it a peaceful spot for a short stroll or a moment of reflection away from the busy streets nearby. Though modest in size, the Princely Garden stands out for its charm, historical character, and the sense of calm it brings to Arnhem’s urban centre.

Location

The Princely Garden, known locally as the Prinsentuin, is located in the historic heart of Arnhem at Rijnstraat near the Rhine riverside promenade. This formal 17th-century baroque garden behind the Stadhuis (city hall) features symmetrical flowerbeds, fountains, manicured hedges and classical statues, originally designed for the city's governors. Nearby stand the Duivelshuis and Eusebiuskerk just across Markt square, Sabelspoort gate a short stroll away, and vibrant riverside paths linking to John Frost Bridge and Modekwartier district. The surrounding area offers cafés on adjacent streets, central parking garages, and pedestrian access to Arnhem Centraal station within five minutes on foot.
