Charlottenburg Palace: Tour Highlights

The history of the Schloss runs deep. It began as the summer palace of King Friederich III's wife Sophie Charlotte. Today it’s the grandest palace you’ll find in Berlin. Worth a visit all year round, it is especially magical at Christmas market season.

  • Neuer Pavillion

    1. Neuer Pavillion

    Destroyed and reconstructed during WWII in perfect Schinkel fashion, this prime example of Charlottenburg Palace interior demonstrates day-to-day German royal life.

  • Mausoleum

    2. Mausoleum

    The classical mausoleum located in the gardens is humbling with its red granite columned entrance.

  • Belvedere

    3. Belvedere

    This quaint lookout building holds one of the greatest special collections in Germany. Its porcelain display is divided by purpose: tea and coffee, dinnerware, and decoration.

  • The Gardens

    4. The Gardens

    The only free part of the park, the giant baroque park of Charlottenburg Palace is truly a sight to behold with its ever-stretching lawn and giant fountain.

  • Grosse Orangerie

    5. Grosse Orangerie

    Complete your unforgettable evening with a classical concert - the orchestra even wears period dress!

Planning Your Visit

Very informative. Great for a first overview. Unfortunately at some stops there were long waiting times for other guests.
