Berlin's Top 10
Schloss Charlottenburg
9
We can pretty much guarantee that your camera will have a love affair with
Berlin's largest and loveliest remaining royal palace. A late-baroque jewel in-
spired by Versailles, it backs up against an idyllic park, complete with carp pond,
rhododendron-lined paths, two smaller palaces and a mausoleum. The palace itself
is clad in a subtle yellow typical of the royal Hohenzollern family and wonderfully
adorned with slender columns and geometrically arranged windows. An ornate
copper-domed tower overlooks the forecourt and the imposing equestrian statue of
the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm.
