Schloss Sanssouci

Frederick the Great's famous summer palace, this rococo gem from 1747 sits daintily above vine-draped terraces with the king's grave nearby. Tour highlights of the lavish interiors include the concert hall, the circular library and the elegant Marble Room. Admission is by timed ticket only; book online to avoid wait times and/or disappointment. Otherwise, only city tours booked through the tourist office guarantee entry to the Schloss.
