First, I agree with most other reviewers that the palace itself is not as impressive as Sanssouci or others. This was only a "summer home" for Friedrich III's wife, so maybe that accounts for some of it; I didn't know about the problems with the furniture that someone else mentioned. I toured Charlottenburg after visiting Potsdam so some of the... more

I confess I was rather put off by the prior reviews and almost did not go. However I am glad I did, and would like to update some of what is previously written. First of all, there is now an audio multi language self guided tour which is included in the admission price so language is not an issue for... more

I went here during a three-day side trip to Berlin with a small group of other high school students (like myself at the time). We had a very strict agenda and didn't count on the fact that we would have to walk 20-30 minutes from the U-Bahn to get there...luckily we made up for lost time by spending only about... more

The palace and gardens are beautiful. We chose to do the tour with the guide because otherwise you can only access certain rooms. We were told the tour was in German but we would have an information sheet in English, which sounded ok. However this proved a bit of a mistake because the information sheet only had limited details about... more
