Charlottenburg Palace
Schloss Charlottenburg
Berlin’s largest Prussian royal palace, with a Baroque palace, porcelain rooms and French-style gardens. It was the summer residence of Queen Sophie Charlotte.
Charlottenburg Palace was built from 1699 for Prussian Queen Sophie Charlotte and later expanded by Frederick the Great. The old palace has a magnificent porcelain display room and a court chapel. The new wing displays paintings by Watteau from Frederick the Great’s collection, as well as the Golden Gallery. Behind the palace, in the Baroque and English gardens, stand a belvedere and the royal mausoleum. The gardens are free to visit. A combined ticket costs about €19 to €22, and individual sections can also be bought separately. Take the U7 to Richard-Wagner-Platz, or take bus 309 or M45.
