Audio Guide of Nord Park

Nord Park is open year-round from dawn to dusk, approximately from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. in summer, with 24-hour access in most areas. The best way to get there is by taking tram U78 to the Nordpark/Aquazoo stop; there are also buses and nearby parking. More info on the official Nord Park page.

Admission to Nord Park is completely free, as it is a public park. Some areas such as the Japanese Garden may have small seasonal fees during peak season (around €3–5), but general access is free. Check updated details on Düsseldorf Tourism.

It is recommended to allow at least 2–3 hours to explore the gardens, the rose garden, and the Japanese Garden at a relaxed pace. If you include a picnic or time to unwind, it can easily stretch to half a day. It is ideal for a calm morning or afternoon visit.

Nord Park was created in the 1930s and hosted the 1939 Federal Garden Show, a major horticultural exhibition that made it a landmark of landscape design. Today it stands out for its modernist layout, botanical diversity, and role as a green lung of Düsseldorf, symbolizing Germany’s horticultural tradition.

Spring (April to June) and summer are ideal because of the flowers in the rose garden and the Japanese Garden at their peak bloom. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the cooler air; avoid midday in July and August because of the heat.

Yes, much of the park has wide, paved paths without steep slopes, making it suitable for wheelchairs. The Japanese Garden and the rose garden are accessible, with ramps available; check the map on the official page for specific routes.

Just a few minutes away is the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum, with its aquarium and zoo, perfect for families. You can also visit the Rhine meadows for river views, and central Düsseldorf is just 15 minutes away by tram; pair it with an audio guide from IAudioguia.
