This is photo is taken at Flora & Botanical garden , Cologne. I must say this place is very nice with lot flowers and different kind of tress. If you are a nature lower , its good place to visit. Some Japanese style garden are also there. I went there on November, and at that time place was very calm. The only thing is you better keep some mineral water with you. I didn't find any shops there in garden itself. I will try to post some more photos taken using my galaxy s2 mobile.
Some information from net
The south section of the garden, known as the Flora, was created first, in 1864. It was laid out by Peter Joseph Lenné, a renowned Prussian gardener who also designed the gardens of the Sanssouci Park in Potsdam and the Tiergarten in Berlin. The gardens were arranged symmetrically in a variation of styles, from very formal to landscaped.
Botanical Garden : In 1914 a new botanical garden was created near the Flora garden. This garden replaced a scientific botanical garden in the south of Cologne that had to make way for increasing traffic. Ironically, the latter was created to replace an older historic botanic garden in the city center that was demolished in 1857 to make way for new construction.
