Charlottenburg Palace (Schloss Charlottenburg)

Schloss Charlottenburg, which was first used by the royal family as a vacation residence in the late 17th century, was transformed into an opulent palace by Frederick the Great in the 18th century. The complex can now be explored in more than a single day.

You can visit the church, the Neuer Fluegel (New Wing), where Frederick the Great formerly lived, and the residential rooms where Frederick I and Sophie Charlotte previously stayed inside the baroque palace. You can also go outside and visit the family mausoleum, the Royal Gardens, or even a lavish teahouse. Reviewers praised this as a fantastic all-year exercise. When it's cold outside (or when it's raining), go inside to observe the fine craftsmanship. Wander the beautiful gardens during the summer.

The audio guide, which is available in several languages and is included in the moderate admission price (between 10 and 12 euros, or $11 to $13), has been recommended by some previous visitors. There are tickets that allow you to see both the palace's interior and its expansive grounds. Remember: Taking pictures will cost you an additional 3 euros (approximately $3.40). To get to the Schloss Charlottenburg, exit the U-Bahn at the Richard-Wagner-Platz or Sophie-Charlotte-Platz stations. Depending on the season, the palace is open from Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4:30 or 5:30 p.m. Consult the website for more details.
