Hotels near Charlottenburg Palace

Schloss Charlottenburg is the largest surviving Hohenzollern palace - a 1695 baroque-rococo summer residence built for Sophie Charlotte, queen of Frederick I of Prussia. The Old Palace's apartments include the Porcelain Cabinet, the Oval Hall facing the gardens, and the New Wing's lavish rococo rooms by Frederick the Great.

The 55-hectare gardens are free and open daily from 7am to dusk - among Berlin's largest green spaces with a 19th-century mausoleum, a belvedere, and the Neuer Pavillon. Combined ticket for Old Palace + New Wing is EUR 19. Allocate 3-4 hours for both.

Pro Tip: The Christmas Market (late November to late December) in front of Charlottenburg Palace is the prettiest in Berlin and free to enter. Take U7 to Richard-Wagner-Platz, then a 10-min walk.
