夏洛滕堡宮

儘管有翻新工程,但公共無障礙花園是繁忙城市的綠洲。維護良好的花園使穿過公園和周圍散步成爲愉快的體驗。公園可以很忙,特別是在夏季的晚上,但在這裏散步或騎自行車的時間會很度過。強烈推薦晚上散步。

第一次去柏林遊覽了泊萊登堡們、議會大廈后沿着菩提樹下大街來到夏洛滕堡宮。印象深刻的的是：夏洛滕堡宮仿照凡爾賽宮建造，是曾經的普魯士國王腓特烈一世十分憧憬凡爾賽宮，便為他的妻子索菲·夏洛特建造了這座夏宮。庭院中心是安德烈亞斯·施呂特爾於1696-97所作勃蘭登堡選帝侯威廉騎馬像，表現了他一貫的軍人氣概。1716年由普魯士國王威廉一世送給俄羅斯彼得大帝的禮物，牆面鑲嵌有6噸多的琥珀和名貴珠寶的琥珀屋最初是在夏洛滕堡宮。

夏洛騰堡宮，其實是一個向公眾開放的大花園，裏面的面積非常大，但除了逛花園外，其實外面的夏洛騰堡宮街區也是非常值得一逛的，首先這個街區雖然靠近皇宮，但卻沒有一般熱門旅遊景點的喧鬧，非常的安靜，整個街區綠樹成蔭，兩側的房子非常具有歐洲民居的特點，漫步其中非常的舒服，午後陽光下散步更是一種享受。

這一座恢弘的巴洛克式宮殿，建於十八世紀，是柏林現存的最大宮殿，也是普魯士王國時期的歷史見證。它最初是腓特烈一世的夏宮，以他的皇后而命名，又經歷了幾任國王的擴建。當然，也經歷了二戰的損毀和戰後的修復。如今，舊宮(Altes Schloss)和新翼 (Neuer Flügel)是主要的参觀部分，宮廷的奢華和皇室的收藏，亦不輸其它宮殿。曾經的皇宮劇院，已經被改建成了史前和早期歷史博物館(Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte)。而法式和英式風格混合的皇宮花園裡，還有新宮(Neuer Pavillon)，觀景樓 (Belvedere)和墓室(Mausoleum)等建築。

The Charlotte Palace in Berlin is much inferior to the Charlotte Palace in Potsdam. Except for the palace at the entrance, there is hardly anything in it. Garden pools, forests and grasslands are all poured out in the same way, and they are not exquisite enough. Fortunately, the Palace Garden is close to the Grand Canal. The canal is about 20 kilometers long. The main waterway is four or fifty meters wide. The river is narrow and the berth can barely pass through. The water quality is very poor in narrow areas, which can be said to be sewage. I don't know how many swans and ducks swim for a living. We sat in the chair under the patronage of the shade and enjoyed the cool feeling of the gentle breeze. Watch all kinds of yachts and boats on the river.

Schloss Charlottenburg, the Palace of Charlottenburg, was named by Frederick I, the Elector of Brandenburg, after his wife Charlotte. It was the Palace of the King of Prussia. The whole palace wasn't very big, but the magnificent Rococo decoration blinded my cat's eyes. In fact, this palace is also a replica of Versailles Palace. Later, Frederick II built the Palace of No Care in Potsdam, still imitated Versailles Palace, and gave a French name: Schloss Sanssouci to reflect his simplest wish: carefree. It is for this reason that I temporarily decided to abandon my plan to go to Potsdam and take my wife to see the real Versailles Palace. Only in this way can we have today's leisurely wandering aimlessly.
