Although I was there in winter and didn't even get to see flowers. HOWEVER the gardens are arranged beautifully and have a special taste when covered by the winter frost. I loved this place and I'm hopeful to be there in summer.
it is a magical place where you can feel good with every one. iwas there during spring so it was amazing to lay on grass and enjoy the sky
Nice grounds located within the premises of Prinsenhof hotel, on a nice sunny day you can take nice photos of the surroundings.
This is one of Groningen's treasure troves, a beautifuly designed garden on the premises of a former Queen's Counsillor. The garden looks splendid and smells splendid, because of our the flowers, beautifully arranged. On the walled entrance there is a very beautiful sundial. There is an opportunity sitting outside and make use of the tea, coffee, icecream. lunch and wine and beer facilities, which is a very joyful thing thing to in Spring, Summer and early Autumn. It faces the new restaurant and hotel which looks out on the garden and has the reputation of being chosen by our King and Queen when they visit town. The immediate surroundings of this garden are all old and historic. If you vist Groningen, and have not visited this, you have not seen Groningen! A must see!
It is a nice garden to go and relax in spring/summer but during the winter it is not worth it. Also not too many flowers, quite small.
We were staying at the hotel and had a room over looking these gardens. Wandering around these gardens is lovely. There are impressive archways and beautifully manicured gardens. Worth a visit.
Prinsenhof Gardens were one of my favorite spots during summer! Of course they're more beautiful and greener during spring compared to the cold winters. Don't expect a huge walk though... Probably it's 5-10 minutes around the gardens.Don't skip the tea house in the gardens!!! It's so quiet and just in the middle of the city! Try the vanilla tsai latte! Amazing!
Yes, it's just a park. But it's also the old garden of the adjacent palace, in which nowadays the best hotel in town resides. It has a pitoresque "theeschenkerij", where you can enjoy modest drinks. It's an oasis in the hart of the city, a place where one can't be without wondering how life must have been for those allowed here in former days. And it hosts the greatest dutch poetry festival each year, "Dichters in de Prinsentuin".
This a great free attraction in the centre of Groningen. Beautifully maintained and colourful formal gardens where you can stroll or sit with a coffee.
Really nice green place to stay quiet in the middle of the city. Better to be visited during summer or spring in order to enjoy the green of the place in its best moment.
