Every year, the most beautiful blossoms unfold in Düsseldorf - if you know where! 🌸 🍒 The cherry blossom not only stands for beauty and new beginnings, but also reminds us of the transience of the moment. 💜 In Japan, this natural spectacle is called "Sakura" and admiring the blossoms together is called "Hanami". Depending on the weather, the flower festival also begins here between mid-March and mid-April and marks the official start of spring. We have put together six beautiful cherry blossom hotspots so that you can enjoy this natural spectacle to the full (and of course take the best pictures 📸). 🫶🏼

A sea of pink blossoms in the middle of Südpark! A dreamlike half-alley of sixteen cherry trees awaits you at Deichsee in spring. The benches framed by delicate blossoms invite you to linger - a perfect place for a relaxing hanami with a view of the reflecting water. You will find this idyllic spot if you walk straight ahead from the entrance at the Franz von Sales Church. It is particularly beautiful in the afternoon when the low sun bathes the flowers in warm light. And if you need a little refreshment after your walk, simply stop off at Café Südpark - with coffee and crumble cake as a sweet finale.

The square in front of the Breuninger department store will be particularly beautiful for the next few weeks. The trees were planted here in 2013 by the Japanese Consulate General and the then Mayor Dirk Elbers as a sign of German-Japanese friendship. Whether with an ice cream or coffee in hand, the hanami is always worthwhile and of course also invites you to take a long walk in the courtyard garden.

Schwanenspiegel, Kaiserteich and Kirschblüte - the names alone sound like something out of a romantic picture book. The two ponds create a magical idyll. The place is perfect for a romantic walk or picnic, especially when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. As a little bonus, you can enjoy the art in the K21/Ständehaus afterwards and go home inspired and refreshed ✨

Japanischer Garten

Kaiserswerther Straße 380
40474 Düsseldorf

A particularly peaceful place to experience the magic of the cherry blossom is the Japanese garden in Nordpark. Here you will find a 5000 square meter, artistically designed garden with cherry trees, pine trees and fan maples. Every tree, stone and pond has a deeper meaning, in keeping with Japanese teachings. Fun fact: The trees are pruned in a special way, giving them a delicate, cloud-like structure. Especially in spring, you can experience an impressive play of colors in the Nordpark!

The EKŌ-Haus in Niederkassel is a place of tranquillity and cultural exchange. The Buddhist temple complex and the Japanese garden create a unique atmosphere. The magnificent weeping cherry tree and an avenue of Yoshino cherry trees at the entrance are particularly beautiful. 🌸 A highlight: a tea ceremony or a workshop on traditional Japanese arts such as calligraphy or ink painting. If you want to experience the magic of the place a second time, you should come back in autumn, when the colorful foliage transforms the garden into a vibrant sea of color. 🍁
