- PaulBMaastricht, The Netherlands3,137 contributionsThe original Berliner 'Stadtschloss Unter den Linden'was the winter residence of the Margrave and Elector of Brandenburg and later the residence of the King of Prussia and the German Emperor.
During World War II it burned down and was replaced by the ugly
Palast der Republik of the former GDR.
During the first decad of this cebtury, the old palace was rebuilt, although the faces mostly look authentical, the structure is modern as wel as several inner and outer facades.
The rebuilt castle houses the non-European collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, and the book collections of Humboldt University and the Berlin City Library, a cinema, a passage with terraces and rooms for conferences and other meetings.Written October 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We viewed this official resident of the German President trying to decide whether the flags fluttering in the breeze meant that he was in residence or not. Actually the Presidential Standard was flying but that does not necessarily mean that he is in residency...
The Bellevue (French for "Beautiful View") Palace is an impressive building and all the more remarkable for no apparent showing of security. We sat on a park bench for 15 minutes or so, took our photographs and wondered at the number of tourist busses that passed by. Eventually we felt the need to continue on to our next destination on our walking tour - the Victory Column just a little further down the road.Written September 14, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gitta B2 contributionsA visit to Pfaueninsel is one of my favorite things to do in Berlin in the summer. I highly recommend visiting the small castle too, if not only for the experience of sliding around in oversized felt slippers on the beautiful wood floors.
However, the lady conducting the tour this time was not very friendly, almost rude. She seemed as occupied mentioning how inconvenienced she was by people trying to make comments or taking their slippers off too soon as she was scolding modern mankind fir wearing tshirts made from cotton treated with pesticides. I assume her colleague was much nicer, which would be easy enough.
If you go on the tour request not to go with the dark haired lady who has worked there for over 15 years already.
Otherwise The Pfaueninsel visit is totally worth it!Written July 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Catherine B75 contributionsThe castle is very attractive and has a nice park behind it.
It is open on Mondays only and only at 11am and at 3 pm. It is not open between 11 and 3 pm. At 11am and at 3pm the castle can only be seen on a guided tour in German. There is no signage, no car parking and no facilities.Written September 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
