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).
