Ablauf
Potsdam’s Old Town is one of the most beautiful baroque centers in all of Europe, yet the city is often overshadowed by its popular neighbour, Berlin. On this walking tour, I’ll share some of East Germany’s unique appeal with you. You’ll hear its history from as far back as the 1700s, through to World War II, all the way to today. I’ll show you the main sights, some lesser-known but equally rewarding spots, and a few of my favourite places in the city too. You’ll start outside the Ringerkolonnade, the recognisable set of columns that stand tall beside Landtag Brandenburg, a replica of Potsdam’s former royal palace which, today, is the seat of the Brandenburg Parliament.
You’ll hear why the faces of kings on the obelisk in the square’s centre were replaced with the faces of architects. I’ll also point out the Barberini Palace Museum and the Old City Hall – both restored since World War II – and St Nicolai Church which managed to survive the destruction.

You'll pass by the church of St Peter and Paul.
I’ll show you how to reach the Dutch Quarter, Potsdam’s very own little Amsterdam, where you’ll see the charming red-brick houses that were built under the second Prussian King, who wanted to attract the Dutch but, instead, attracted Huguenots.
On this self-guided walking tour, you'll have the chance to pass by Jan Bouman Haus.
On this Potsdam walking tour, you’ll also have a chance to stand in the shadows of three of the old city gates: Nauener Tor, Jagertor, and Potsdam’s very own Brandenburg Gate.

About Potsdam
Potsdam is the Brandenburg capital beside Berlin, a city of lakes, palaces and royal parks led by Frederick the Great's summer palace of Sanssouci.
Potsdam lies on the Havel river and a chain of lakes just south-west of Berlin, and for generations it was the summer home of the Prussian kings. Their palaces and gardens, led by Sanssouci, the rococo summer palace of Frederick the Great set above a terraced vineyard slope, form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Neues Palais, the Chinese House and the Orangery fill the same park.
Top-ranked sights in Potsdam: Sanssouci Palace, New Palace (Neues Palais).
