New Palace

Worth noting this has been under restoration since the 80s and right now there is scaffolding on a large portion of the exterior. That's unfortunate but it's important to preserve it so it's a worthwhile trade. The 1hr tour of the interior is definitely worth it. They don't offer English tours which is unfortunate, but the guide would answer questions in English. There is an app that has multiple languages but it's nowhere hear as detailed as the tour guide. I used Samsung AI interpreter to listen to what he was saying and while it wasn't perfect I got the general gist enough to ask some questions. He was very knowledgeable. The interior is stunning to match/exceed the exterior. To see it in the prime when operating would have been wild (albeit a bit gross I'm sure). The scaffolding should be off the front in the next few months but the restoration is never done. The university right next to the palace is also incredibly beautiful.

We went in December, and after a long day we walked around this fantastic palace for hours. It is very scenic and very atmospheric in winter with the yellow lights and all the statues scattered around. We had another visit in summer and it was just as fantastic. A must visit.

Great to look through the royal palace and its intricacies. Furniture, flooring, walls and ceilings tell a story. The tour is in German so it is best to download the Sanssouci app before you go.

Definitely worth a visit. But be prepared to walk. We walked from Sansssouci to the New Palace and we were beat by the time we reached the new palace. Then we had to walk further to purchase tickets then walk back. Also they only do group tours.

I visited the New Palace in winter, and as expected, the gardens looked a bit dull — perfectly normal for the season. What surprised me, though, was that all the statues were fully covered, so none of them could be seen. I understand the need for protection during colder months, but I was still hoping to experience a bit more of the place’s charm. Considering how beautiful and iconic this palace is, the visit felt slightly underwhelming.

Long nice walk around. Need to buy ticket to enter inside palace. Surroundings gardens are super green, cool and relaxing

After visiting Sanssouci this of course has bigger dimensions but still feels underwhelming somehow. Anyway the rooms are still pretty and it might be worth the entree fee for some people. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Good to go once to one of the palaces in the park!! If you have seen palaces in India, this will make you feel like a house of a rich person and not like a palace! Is this really a grand palace, may be yes given they had to quickly build this!
