About this place
Charlottenburg Palace is the largest and most magnificent royal residence in Berlin, built at the end of the 17th century for Queen Sophie Charlotte. The stunning Baroque palace stretches along ornate gardens inspired by Versailles, and houses a remarkable collection of Prussian royal apartments, porcelain, and paintings. The sprawling grounds and orangery make it a destination in its own right.
Tips
Purchase a combination ticket to access multiple sections of the palace, including the Old Palace, the New Wing, and the Belvedere teahouse, for the best overall experience. The palace gardens are free to enter and ideal for a leisurely stroll along the carp pond and French-style parterres. Arrive early as the palace can get busy, particularly in summer. Charlottenburg is easily reached by U-Bahn on line U7 to Richard-Wagner-Platz or U2 to Sophie-Charlotte-Platz, and pairs well with a visit to the nearby Museum Berggruen.
