Nizza, Frankfurt
Park in Frankfurt, Germany / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nizza ([ˈnɪtsaː], from the Italian and German name for the French city of Nice) is a small area in central Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, known for its microclimate that makes it one of the warmest places in Germany. Nizza is on the northern bank of the River Main, and the combination of its open southern-facing position, the urban heat island, the high walls of the adjacent promenade which act as a windbreak, and reflection of sunlight off the water combine to produce a Mediterranean climate. At 4.42 hectares (10.9 acres), Nizza is one of the largest gardens of Mediterranean plants north of the Alps.[1]
