We loved going to this palace! We did not go inside, but there were so many free things to see outside. It was beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the bees around the palace garden and the waterfowl nearby too. It is a lovely place to walk and see the beautiful building, garden, and sculptures.

Huge historic palace in the outer parts of the city. They have a beautiful garden that you can walk through for free. It's a lovely place to visit and spend half a day or so. You can buy tickets online and book a time slot. My complaints are they do not have restrooms in the main area. You have to walk pretty far to another area and pay 50 cents. They also don't have anything for dining or drinks on sight so bring some water, maybe a picnic and research the area for restaurants. It's a bit out of the way and will take a lot of walking so bring good shoes, the metro stop is 15 minutes away I took a taxi there and metro back. Overall it's a top sight worth seeing.

Having been through several castles and royal residences, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I don't have much love for monarchs or other autocratic leaders, and worry that glorifying monarchy will have some ill effects. On the other hand, visiting a place like this is a uniquely powerful way to learn about the history of a particular era. Schloss Charlottenburg staff do a fine job of accepting tickets, checking coats, distributing audio-tour devices, and generally pointing you in the right direction. The gift shop has plenty of fine reading selections. On a good-weather day, strolling through the palace gardens may be the best part!

Beautiful palace with lots to see. The main palace doesn't take too long if you don't spend too much time looking at everything. The outside was huge but pretty. Lockers to leave your stuff were easy to use. Also really easy to get here using the bus, but it does take some time to get here from the main city.

Lovely palace, on a foggy day

You can see this amazing palace just walking up the street! * FYI - SC palace was built in the late 1600s, built in baroque style by Johann Friedrich von Eosander * FYI - Named after the wife of King Friedrich I, Sophie Charlotte, who commissioned the build * FYI - The garden was designed by Simeon Godeau, focusing on geometric motifs; it was redesigned in 1787 for Friedrich Wilhelm II; then again restored to baroque style after WWII * YES - Palace (admission fee) and its ground (free) is open for visitors * YES - The teal and soft yellow façade of the palace is so pleasing to the eye (reminds me of pastries, lol) * YES - The garden was amazing... great place for contemplation and walking FOUR & 1/2 STARS **** '

I came to Berlin during a very cold and freezing winter with yelper Sigourney W. and we decided to check out Schloss Charlottenburg because we didn't want to trek out to Potsdam. Well, it was slightly disappointing because a lot of the Palace was reconstructed, as it was destroyed during World War II (there's some exhibit talking about the reconstruction)--but hey, that's to be expected since lots of historical buildings in Germany were destroyed during the War. Apparently, the price you pay for entry covers other palaces in Berlin, so it's a pretty good deal if you want to spend your entire day touring palaces. They also have a student fare too (studentenpreis) for those in college, high school, etc. An audio tour is also included free with the price of admission. I found the palace to be similar to Versailles with their hall of mirrors type arrangement, and the architecture & furniture similar to the Residenz in Munich. But the room that I found very unique was the Porcelain Cabinet room which contained thousands of pieces of Chinese porcelain. It was overwhelming to look at, but it was definitely quite a sight. I really loved that room. The palace itself can get very cold during the winter, so bring a jacket. There are plenty of beautiful windows that allow you to look outside. Looking outside those windows takes you back hundreds of years, and you can imagine yourself--like a King or Queen in such a magnificent palace.

Traveling with others is fun because they might suggest something we might not have otherwise done. This palace is one of those things, and we're happy we visited. We took a train to a bus to get here since we had travel passes in Berlin. We bought passes at the old palace, which includes an audio guide and other parts of the palace. There's a free coat check so you don't have to carry items around. The old palace has a great history, and lots of artwork. Using the audio guide it will take over an hour to get through, but well worth it. The new palace we opted to just walk through and not take an audio guide. It was equally beautiful.

Schloss Charlottenburg as the largest palace and the only surviving royal residence in Berlin. It is rarely can see what a historical and beautiful palace could found in the modern day of Berline. Because of this, Charlottenburg Palace is always on the top of most tourist's visit list. It is located in the Charlottenburg district, not so far from the center of Berlin, if you go there from Stadtmitte by public transportations, it probably took about 30 mins. It isn't so close with the other famous sightseeing places, just pick a day just for this place, it is really worth it. This place is huge, I spent half of my day to explored. It was really amazing, lots to see, the palace itself definitely was a stunning piece. Pity for me, when I was there, the palace was closed, didn't got a glance of the beauty inside. Behind the palace, it got a really beautiful and big garde, very royal family like. It simply made this place perfect to have a walk and making pictures. The garden itself surrounded by the woodlamd. I saw some little ponds there, it was really beautiful and peaceful. I was there in the summer time, it was the best time to visit, all the flowers were flowering, trees were green. It's kinda hard to imagine that this place was badly damaged during the Second World War. If you ask me where to visit in Berlin, this is definitely the place you can't miss. I really like it here, cultural and beautiful, especially in summer. Just look up the open hours for the palace before your visit, I heard lot good things about it as well.

This place is gorgeous. Reserve plenty of time to see it because it is really big. Plenty of places to see and gardens to walk around. I've been to other castles in Germany but this one is def the biggest and the one I liked better. I spent most of the time in the older session, as it was one with more historical information. You can even sit down a little while you read and check out stuff. After all that walk and reading there are plenty of coffee places in the neighborhood. Amazing place.

My friend and I went here when I first came over to visit them and it was really pretty. It was not what I was expecting when they told me we would be visiting a palace. I really liked each of the rooms and it was nice to listen to the history of the place. If you want to take photos it is I believe an extra 3 euro. They give you a special band so no one bothers you. Small purses you dont have to check in but other than that you do. Anytime of the day is fine to visit it seems. There will always be some crowds but not annoyingly so. Behind the palace the gardens is especially beautiful and nice to walk and take an evening stroll through.

It's really beautiful and the audio guide you get inside with headphones makes the tour very interesting. You are unfortunately not allowed to take photos in there and its almost one guard in every room. For 12 Euro you get a day ticket and it also include entry to almost all palaces in Berlin and Potsdam.

Unfortunately time was a large factor for us so we only took a walk around the gardens. I love that anyone can walk freely around the grounds enjoying the stunning surroundings of Schloss Charlottenburg. The gardens are beautifully kept, ideal for a casual stroll or a summer picnic even to feed the ducks and swans. The pathways are dirt/gravel tracks so best not to wear flip flops. You can visit the family mausoleum and summer houses too.

I am floored by the amount of books, in every single category imaginable. Yes, they have a large children's section. There is a giant plush figure standing near a black pole in front of the children's books. I checked out each floor. I'm a sucker for novelty items, which they have plenty of. They sell multiple models of Polaroid cameras and film. Tons of calendars in different formats. Their vinyl room is on the ground floor, in the back. The store is sleek, clean, and organized. If you're in Berlin, I recommend visiting this store.

Beyond an insane collection of books, they also have tons of very unique novelty items that make great gifts or, something for yourself-- something that you never knew you needed. This shop is a multilevel business. They have multiple floors with books and other items on every floor. Plus, it is just stuffed full with an insane amount of books covering all varieties to quench your reading experience. As mentioned, they are much more than just an incredible bookstore. They also have a great selection of vinyl. So, for all of you vinyl enthusiasts, this is a great place to go and find that unique piece of music that you've wanted either very recently or all the way back to when you were young. It's really hard to explain just how much this store offers. I mean, if you're looking for a specific book, it's more than likely they will have. And, if they don't, they can most likely get it for you. Dussmann's great places to sit around and take a look at that book you may be interested in purchasing. Or, you can go there and have interesting discussions with your friends or family about literature and/or anything else. This is truly a great shop! Not only do you never know what you will find, but, if you're looking for something very specific, more than likely you'll be able to find it here.

But I do not provide 25 EUR or 30 EUR advance was to be paid at the checkout. So I got hold of me a cheap day ticket for 17 EUR. ;-) But what can I say? I was disappointed either have the people on the stands had no more desire or are just so boring by nature. Some dancers were a visual treat, as a woman I saw it that way. Some, however, was the boredom on her face unfortunately. Great new features, it also gave great at least I have not seen any. However, I must say it, I was on the last day there, that it was positive; I got hold of a powder compact (powder with glitter and taste) for just 5 EUR, The cost was 15 EUR. The funny thing was, many organizers were already gone from 15 clock .. Almost outrageous! Yet I've also seen some informative articles, garrantiert me the times in your store here to welcome in Berlin. Beautiful corsets fancy dresses and masks For special events once found something extraordinary. However, many exhibitors also said that it is in contrast to the last Venus has very diminished . A little disappointed but richer for the experience, then I went home. Everyone should decide for themselves what one takes from it and whether it is still worth to visit the Venus. Deutsch: Venus 2011 Nun auch ich habe es mal geschafft, dorthin zu kommen. Es Interessierte mich schon was da denn so alles geboten wird, denn ich kannte es bis Dato nur aus dem Fernsehn. Doch ich war nicht bereit 25EUR Vorverkauf oder 30 EUR an der Kasse zu zahlen. Also ergatterte ich mir ein günstiges Tages-Ticket für 17 Euro. Doch was soll ich sagen? Ich war enttäuschtentweder haben die Leute an den Ständen keine Lust mehr gehabt, oder sind eben so langweilig von Natur aus. Einige Tänzerinnen waren ein Augenschmaus, auch als Frau sah ich das so. Einige jedoch stand die Langeweile ins Gesicht geschriebenLeider. Supertolle Neuerungen gab es auch nichtjedenfalls hab ich keine gesehen. Allerdings muss ich dabei sagen, ich war am letzten Tag dort, das positive daran war; das ich eine Puderdose (Puder mit Glitzer & Geschmack) für nur 5 EUR ergatterte, die vorher 15 EUR kostete. Komisch war: Viele Veranstalter waren schon ab 15 Uhr nicht mehr da.. Schon fast unverschämt! Dennoch habe ich auch einige Informative Stände gesehen, die mich garrantiert mal in Ihrem Ladengeschäft hier in Berlin begrüßen können. Schöne Korsettsausgefallene Kleider und Masken Für besondere Events mal was Außergewöhnliches gefunden. Allerdings sagten auch viele Aussteller, das es im gegensatz zur letzten Venus sehr nachgelassen hat. Etwas enttäuscht doch um eine Erfahrung reicher, ging ich dann auch nach Hause. Jeder sollte für sich entscheiden, was man daraus mitnimmt und ob es sich überhaupt noch lohnt, die Venus zu besuchen.

Martina was our tour guide for Tour M and she was engaging, knowledgeable, friendly and fun! She made the tour interesting and was happy to answer any and all questions. They offer a bunch of different tours which cover different topics/aspects "Underground Berlin". We chose Tour M because it focused on the history of the Berlin Wall which we were interested in knowing more about, but there are other tours available that focus on other aspects, such as bunkers, WWII, etc. Be sure to read through what's available before you schedule your tour to ensure that you're signed up for the topic that interests you most. My husband and I had very little knowledge of the Berlin Wall and the history behind it prior to this tour. We left feeling incredibly informed yet hunger for more knowledge! Martina recommended a few movies and documentaries to watch for more information about the wall and we fully intend to watch them when we get back home. Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable experience! Next time we're in Berlin, we'll come back to experience a different tour with you.

I was wearing shorts and a small long sleeve which really didn't make me feel comfortable because this place is seriously seriously cold. I asked the guide if it gets any hotter in the summer time and he says it stays this cool. So be warned bring a jacket when you come here because the whole tour is literally under the streets of Berlin! The guide we got was not from Germany but from another country and spoke English quite well. The place is filled with many cool things to see and also the glow in the dark room is pretty awesome. I didn't even know they invented that kind of thng so long ago! Very factual tour and with many photos and items that are from that time period. Yes we aren't allowed to take pictures soo they can keep all these items for the next generation! I'm glad I actually went to this place and got to listen to this tour. It is a little bit long but if you have time check this place out, I really loved it and you probably will if you want to see what would happen if the bunkers.

So I found myself in Berlin, as the Oktoberfest in Münich took off. This is obviously a mistake,…read morebut I will not dwell at the details. As it turned out, my friend and I found out, that there is in fact a huge beer tent in Berlin, where a similar experience is announced. We took a cab to the venue - it's close to Tegel Airport, hence it is quite far from the City of Berlin and most of the interesting places. The whole place is the kind of rural amusement park that is awesome, if there is people. Unfortunately half the place was closed, and there was not a single guest. Literally. We got ourselves a Bratwurst at the only open food place and ventured towards the main tent, in the vague hope that it would be full of people. As we approached the entrance 4 (four!) security guys ran towards my friend and his unfinished sausage - they screamed in German that food is not allowed in the beer tent. In this context it did not help that he is an American, and they shouted in German - he had no idea what was going on. One of the guards grabbed my friend, and I am pretty sure he was about to deck him. I stepped in and commanded them in German to stay back and leave my friend alone. I have never seen anything like it - guards were belligerent and stupid, and it took some pursuation for them to leave us alone. Mind you, we were not drunk and the only apparent offence was carrying a sausage. We peeked briefly into the tent and realized it housed 10 people in total, so we abandoned the place and went back to the cool offerings of Berlin. I love Berlin and everything about it - but I must admit I hate this place. Apart from being boring and ridiculous, Zentraler Festplatz offers a good chance of being beaten up for no particular reason. By the guards. One star is way too kind. (This was our experience on Thursday, Sep 25, 2014 around 10pm. Perhaps it not like this all the time. I will never know).
