Tips & Advice
- Allow at least an hour for your visit, because the 20-plus trees are spread across three separate historic sites.
- Keep the pamphlet you get on arrival, because it opens an online version of the tour that you can follow on your phone.
- Wear your green wristband for the whole visit, because it shows you've paid for the exhibit at each site.
- Expect steep historic stairs and no elevators in the Gemeinhaus and Single Sisters' House, and call the Heritage Concierge Service ahead if you need help planning.
- Groups of six or more can book a custom tour of the trees, but send the request at least one week before you want to go.
Special Events & Promotions
- The 2026 theme is Architectural Design, with trees in styles from Victorian ornament and Brutalism to Neoclassicism, Gothic, Rococo and Art Nouveau.
- Visit all three sites and vote for your favorite tree at the end.
- Custom group tours of the trees can be booked for six or more people with one week's notice.
