Discover Bellevue Palace, the neoclassical residence of Germany's President, tucked along the Spree inside Tiergarten park. Pause at the gates to admire its elegant façade before continuing your walk through the park's scenic paths.
Reasons to go
Full description
Bellevue Palace was built in the 1780s as a Prussian prince's residence and has served as the official seat of the German President since 1994, making it one of the few working palaces in Europe still open to public view, if only from outside its gates. Its elegant neoclassical façade and riverside setting within the Tiergarten make it a pleasant stop on a walk through the park, though as one reviewer notes bluntly, it amounts to 'one castle-like room' from the visitor's vantage point since the interior isn't open to the public.
Reviewers otherwise describe it as an underrated architectural gem worth a brief look for history and politics enthusiasts. At about 15 minutes, it's best treated as a scenic stop along a longer Tiergarten walk rather than a destination on its own.
