This roughly one-hour guided tour leads through the grand rooms and halls of Schloss Charlottenburg, exploring palace festivities and Christmas traditions in the royal family. You'll learn what gifts were given and by whom, what was served at table, how homes were decorated, and why Christmas is celebrated at all. The tour ends with a Christmas fairy tale or a carol sung together. It meets at the group cash desk in the Ehrenhof and is wheelchair accessible. Some dates are designed for families with children aged 6 and up, others for adults only.
