    The Rheinpark is a green leisure oasis in the middle of the city, offering relaxation and an impressive panorama of the skyline with the cathedral. Since the Federal Garden Show in 1957, for which the site was transformed from war ruins into an extensive park, the park with its magnificent gardens, water terraces and spacious meadows has established itself as a popular local recreation area. The Rhine cable car offers a unique view over the park and the city, while a small train runs through the grounds. The Tanzbrunnen, an event location, attracts visitors with open-air concerts and festivals, while the flower and tropical courtyard underlines the beauty of the park.
