Large green area and pink rococo palace. When we are there at least 3 wedding photos work was there. The large landscape and well maintained trees and flowers creates a good scene for photos and also the historic building, artificial water and sculptures keeps the feeling of place garden.
📍Address: Located in Cologne, Germany, with convenient transportation, you can see its magnificent figure from a distance as soon as you get off the car.
🌟Appearance: From the moment you step into the palace area, it feels like you have fallen into a fairy tale world. The main building of the palace is in a gorgeous Baroque style. The pink and white exterior walls shine in the sun. The exquisite carvings and magnificent columns, every detail shows the luxury and dignity of the year, and it is super photogenic📷!
🏞Garden: The garden of the palace is even more unique! Symmetrical layout, neatly trimmed green plants, and colorful flowers blooming. Strolling through it, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and occasionally there are a few birds flying around, like a fairyland on earth. Walking along the gravel path, I feel that my body and mind are healed.
💖Visiting experience: There are rich exhibitions inside, from exquisite court costumes👗 to luxurious furniture🪑, a series of historical scrolls unfold in front of you, which can give you an in-depth understanding of the life style of the nobles at that time. The staff explained in detail, and even if you don't know much about history, you can still listen with relish.
💰Ticket price: The ticket price is reasonable, and it is very cost-effective compared to the experience you get. There are also preferential policies for students, which is very considerate.
In short, whether it is the beauty of architecture, garden landscape or cultural heritage, Benrath Palace is intoxicating. It is a must-visit place in Cologne. I strongly recommend it to everyone! 👏

Our home is right on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf, so we come to this park and walk along the river every day. The banks of the Rhine are both beautiful and useful. There are various activities here every Sunday, sometimes food gatherings, sometimes antique car exhibitions, which are quite fun.
Düsseldorf in Germany is highly recommended. It is a very wealthy, developed and beautiful city. We once lived here for a period of time and I still miss it very much.

Düsseldorf's Königsallee is famous for the fashion showrooms and luxury retail stores along its two sides. It is by far the busiest upscale shopping street in Germany.
[Fun] It is actually a street in the center of this small town. It has all the first-line big brands, as well as beer, coffee shops, etc. It is the most lively area in the town.
[Cost-effectiveness] The consumption is reasonable, and the big brands are cheaper than in China.
[Scenery] Not bad, with a lot of shade.

Along with Hannover, Düsseldorf is the center of the two largest exhibition industries in Germany. When I came here, it was the hottest weather in Düsseldorf in 40 years. Fortunately, there were air conditioners in the exhibition halls. There are more than a dozen halls here, which is really huge.
A very large and modern exhibition center with complete facilities.

This is a landmark. The revolving restaurant on it is the best restaurant in the city. Even if you don’t come here to eat, you must visit the viewing platform here. From a high place, the layout and structure of the entire city are clear at a glance.
The TV tower is located in a green area beside the Rhine River, which is also the end point of the landscape avenue. There is inevitably a revolving restaurant and a viewing platform on the TV tower. When the weather is good, the view and scenery are also good.

Düsseldorf, a city in western Germany, is a beautiful medium-sized city, also known as the largest village in Europe, located on the banks of the Rhine. The hometown of German romantic poet and writer Heine is here, and the last picture is Heine's former residence.
In Düsseldorf Nature Park, you can not only see many small animals, but also feed deer at close range.

Heine's former residence is not very eye-catching. This is a common phenomenon in Europe, so we are used to it. It is located at 53 Bolker Street, the most prosperous area in the old town. There is a bronze relief of Heine on the wall above the door, mainly because he spent his youth here.
Heine is a famous German writer. His former residence is located in the old town, where Heine spent his childhood and youth.
