Strolling from Schloss Sanssouci to the Neues Palais (New Palace), requires about half an hour. The municipal bus running along the northern edge of the park provides a viable alternative. The Baroque Neues Palais, built 1763-1769, was Frederick the Great’s most opulent palace and is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Germany.
It has 400 rooms behind a façade over 200 m (656 feet) long. It was built at the end of the costly SilesianWar, at great expense to Prussian taxpayers, to prove that the war had not bankrupted Prussia. (The war, combined with the palace, nearly did, however.)
During the summer period, the Euro 1 German guided tour is optional and an English audio guide is available. The Royal Chambers (Königswohnung) of Frederick the Great can only be seen during the summer season for an additional Euro 5 on a compulsory guided tour (in German only).
