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.

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!

If you're planning to visit this place, I recommend going there in spring or summer, 'cause this is the time when all the plants are blooming. In winter it isn't that stunning.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
