At Schloss Augustusburg you can decide to take a small tour of 18 rooms or the larger tour of 25 rooms. You can buy a combo ticket and save some money to get into both Schlösser! Unfortunately, I went too late in the day, and missed out on Falkenlust, but that's ok - another time! The comboticket is good for the season - so until Nov 30th. So if you don't have enough time - that's ok - don't panic. They offer tours in German, French, and English. I somehow managed to get on a English tour due to a englisch speaking tour group that arrived.
The Schloss was actually a summer residence of the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria. If you get a chance to tour - this residence boasts one amazing staircase with a beautiful fresco on the ceiling - that looks to have taken years to paint, but was actually done in 2 weeks!!! It looks like no expense was spared - everything is quite luxurious. The terrasse was actually being restored when I went, but the main portion was opened. Unfortunately, you can see this in my pictures - the staircase down into the Barock garden was blocked off, and you can see some construction equipment. =(
Here are some of my pictures from my visit...scroll down for my review
Overall: This schloss makes my must-see list - 9/10.
