Originally built at the end of the 17th century and heavily expanded during the 18th century, the Charlottenburg Palace features a wide variety of attractions that enable it to be a major tourist destination. The grounds offer extensive walking paths, gardens, moats, small lakes, and even a carp pond, all of which have undergone many redesigns and reconstructions as different styles came into fashion over the years. The palace and grounds were heavily damaged during WWII air raids, but have since been restored to their former beauty. Much of the grounds are open to the public free of charge, but there are specific wings and parts of the palace that require an admission fee for entry.
