More information

Bellevue Palace is a stunning example of neoclassical architecture nestled on the banks of the River Spree in Berlin. Serving today as the official residence of the German President, this remarkable building is surrounded by peaceful gardens and offers a glimpse into Germany’s history and political life.

A Glimpse into the Past

Completed in 1786 for Prince Ferdinand of Prussia, this elegant palace has witnessed centuries of change. Over the years, it has hosted royal events, survived wars, and transformed from a residence of nobility to the heart of German political life.

Best Time to Visit

Spring and summer are particularly beautiful, when the gardens are in full bloom and the lawns invite a relaxing stroll. Winter also has its charm, as the crisp air and peaceful surroundings offer a different perspective.

Is public access allowed?

The palace itself is not generally open to the public, as it serves as a working residence. However, the surrounding park and its scenic paths are accessible throughout the year.

How much time should I spend here?

An hour is usually enough to enjoy the gardens and take photos of the grand façade. Combine your visit with a stroll along the nearby Spree or Tiergarten park for a nice day out.
