Sanssouci Palace

A visit to Sanssouci Palace is a true step back in time. During your visit one can imagine the beauty of the time and the splendor of the period.

We visited in December and one should note this was a summer palace -- there is no heat and this palace was kept as it was originally. The grounds are beautiful and we can only imagine the greater beauty during the warmer months.

A must see if you have a half day in hand on your Berlin visit. 1 hour train + bus journey all worthwhile to see this beautiful palace. Excellent public transport available. One can spend a full day exploring all the gardens and surrounding.

Frederick the Great’s summer palace, ‘Sansoucci’ was fit for a king and now can be enjoyed by all. At the train stop, we met a tour operator for our group and were bussed to the Palace. We did not enter the palatial building but enjoyed walking the grounds and marveled at this architectural wonder. We saw Frederick’s humble gravestone, now adorned with potatoes, a reminder it was he who introduced the crop, first to his army and later, to the country.

Sanssouci Palace, King Frederick the Great's favorite summer escape, is a top destination of tourist attraction just outside of Berlin. Retreat to Sanssouci for the grandeur often lost in the city with its immaculate gardens and terraced vineyard leading up to the elegant yellow palace.
This palace was built in 1745 to 1747. The influence of King Frederick's personal taste in the design and decoration of the palace was so great that its style is characterised as Rococo. Now this palace is saved by UNSCO Heritage. Now this palace is preserved with all its original things and furniture and worth to visit because of lush gardens, vineyards as well as this historic palace.

If your child is there with you,
make sure you get the audio guide for kids. It’s great!
And don’t forget to visit Friedrich the Great’s dogs’ cemetery. He loved Greyhounds!

If you ever looked for a focal point of classic culture, sophistication and Frenchy style in a otherwise Prussian culture - a must! Cozy eleven room boutique- hotel for an erudite king and his guests 😉😎

Stunning masterpiece! Outstanding rococo architecture, lush and perfectly maintained gardens! The royal interiors, the entire palace complex in general and the lovely detail around it - this is a visit you will remember!

The party Palace. Fredrick 2nd spent most of his time here and is buried behind the garden with his dogs. This is a wonderful palace and well worth the visit . You can get the bus there from potsdam.

The Palace is one of many in Sanssouci Park. The Palace has just about ten rooms that are open to tour, but the audio tour is very detailed, and it will entertain you for about an hour.
The approach to the palace is beautiful, with a majestic fountain and terraces with grape vines. It is a pretty place to explore and take photos.
Beyond touring the palace, the park itself offers hours of exploration. There is a botanical garden, many nooks and crannies of the labyrinthine park, and several other palaces, some as big as two hundred rooms.
I recommend buying tickets in advance because they limit how many people can enter per opening.

Awesome Palace with great view. The place is spectacular even if late October. Would be better to have some toilets around...

A must-see if you're in Berlin. Less than an hour by train. The palace is stunning but the park itself has so much to offer. There's beautiful scenery everywhere you look and monuments around each bend.

Beautiful castle. Many of the additional buildings were closed unfortunately. (They are always closed during winter time, so I‘d recommend summer for a visit there.) But I still had a great day and I loved that it wasn‘t too crowded

The palace and grounds are beautiful, and the self guided tour audio is full of interesting facts and short stories. Try not to go on a hot day, as the interior can heat up quickly.

This was a great dat trip from Berlin. It was only a 40 min drive. I recommend booking tickets in advance because they have specific time slots. Once in you get an audio guide that is perfect to understand the story of the place. Each room is unique and builds the story of Frederick’s activities in his pleasure palace. The grounds are very pretty as well. The park is huge and it takes a long time to do all of it, but it is worth at least doing the areas right around the palace.

Lovely Palace to visit, specially the paintings gallery and the main garden. I suggest to have a plan to stay in this area at least half a day. It worth to visit in a weekend, if you are visiting the Berlin. Try to visit different sides of the palace, because there is a place in each side of the area.

awesome place, you feel calmness and serenity there, perhaps not on a hot summer day in august on weekends but on a rainy tuesday (when Neues Palais is closed): yes🤛👍. tour inside the castle (with audio guide) is highly!!! recommended. see and feel the glamour of Prussia

More of a museum where King Fredrick lived with his family and workers it’s a great place indeed

An absolutely stunning must-see historical castle!

A beautiful summer palace of Fredrick William II the great. The palace has beautiful vineyard & garden. It has a beautiful art gallery also. A must visit of Potsdam. 😍
