My partner and I wanted to visit a Schloss during out trip in Düsseldorf, but we didn't want to go…read moreso far, so we decided to come to this one. We took the U-Bahn from the station Schadowstraße, it took us quite awhile to get here, I think it was about 30-40 minutes. it was quite nice way to check out the city anyway.
First thing I saw was the Schloßweiher, quite a beautiful pond it got there, then I saw the palace Benrath, it looked just great together. After we got off the U-Bahn train, we walked to the palace have a closer look. It does remind me of the palace I have seen in Potsdam. The main colour of the both of palaces are in pink, Schloss Benrath is Baroque-style. It isn't so big, it doesn't take long to walk around the building outside. The main building is also a museum, if you need a ticket to visit inside. It got a really big garden at the back though, great place for a walk. There are some other small gardens around, nice as well. I also saw some people dress up just re-lived the old day, kind of cool.
My friend told me that Benrath was used to be a small town outside Düsseldorf, but now is part of the Düsseldorf. When we were on the way to the S-Bahn station, I could see their very own shopping street which quite close to the palace, it is quite peaceful here. Before we left this place, we just found a place near the front of the palace and sat down, enjoy the sunset, it was wonderful time, we like it a lot.
