Nizza, Mediterranean garden on Main river bank, Frankfurt, Germany
The garden extends for one kilometer along the northern bank of the Main River between Untermainbrücke and Friedensbrücke bridges, covering 4.42 hectares.
In 1858, the former Main river island was connected to the mainland during harbor railway construction, and later in 1875 transformed into a tropical garden.
The park received its name from Nice, France, reflecting the similar climate conditions that allow Mediterranean plants to flourish in this northern location.
The garden features frost-resistant Mediterranean plants, including olive trees, figs, bananas, cork trees, citrus fruits, cypress trees, and stone pines.
The location experiences temperatures 4.5 to 6.5 degrees Celsius higher than surrounding areas due to Frankfurt's urban heat effect and southern sun exposure.
