Itinerary
A king, a dream, and a palace built for peace. Walk the gardens, admire the architecture, and see why Frederick the Great called this place his escape from reality.
Not just an old arch—this gate has seen kings, wars, and the rise and fall of empires. A symbol of power and resilience, it’s been standing strong for centuries.
An old city gate with a royal touch. Once part of Potsdam’s fortifications, it still holds clues to the past—if you know where to look.
A square with a past as grand as its architecture. This is where Potsdam’s rulers made history, shaping the city one decision at a time.
A little slice of the Netherlands, right in the heart of Potsdam. Walk the red-brick streets and hear the story of how a Prussian king brought a bit of Amsterdam to Germany.
A theater with a past that goes way beyond the stage. Named after an actor who stood up for what he believed in, this spot proves that art and history are more connected than you think.
A peaceful crossing with a Cold War past. Once a meeting point for some of the world’s most secretive trades, this bridge has stories hidden in its shadows.

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).
