Recommended Visit Points
1️⃣ The Old Palace (Altes Schloss) containing the Queen’s dreams
This is where the history of the palace began, built for the first queen of Prussia, Sophie Charlotte. The palace is named after her. The highlight here is definitely the Porcelain Cabinet. The collection of thousands of Chinese and Japanese porcelain pieces covering the walls is jaw-dropping. Don't miss the palace chapel, the epitome of Baroque style.
2️⃣ The dazzling Rococo-style New Chapel (Neuer Flügel)
The new building, which stretches out next to the old building, is full of the tastes of the 'enlightened monarch' Frederick the Great . The centerpiece here is the 'Golden Gallery' ! The 42m long golden banquet hall is the pinnacle of Rococo style. The elaborate mirror decorations and gold decorations sparkle in the sunlight, creating a truly spectacular sight. There is no better place to take a picture of your life!
3️⃣ Enjoy the expansive garden like a local
The large garden behind the palace is another source of pride for Charlottenburg Palace. Close to the palace , there is a French Baroque garden with geometric patterns, and further inside, there is an English landscape garden with natural beauty. This is the perfect place for Berliners to relax, so take a leisurely stroll and take a break from your trip. The garden walk is free!
