Potsdam is best known for its magnificent palaces and parks (UNESCO World heritage sites) that date back to its time as the former royal seat of Prussia. But Potsdam has also played a significant role in modern history, as one of the palaces served as the location of the “Potsdam Conference” after World War II.

On the way to Potsdam, you will stop at Glienicke bridge, which connects Potsdam and Berlin and is the place where East and West exchanged secret agents and spies until the 1980s. Highlights of Potsdam that you will see are the Dutch Quarter and Russian colony Alexandrovka as well as the Nauener and Brandenburg Gates.

Potsdam's palaces are not to be missed. You will pay a visit to Cecilienhof Palace, which was the last castle built by the Hohenzollern dynasty. The Potsdam Conference, at which the four victorious powers decided to divide Berlin and Germany, took place there in 1945.

Afterwards, you will continue to the famous Palace Sanssouci. No other castle is more closely associated with Frederick the Great than Sanssouci, which was his summer residence. The name, which means “without worries”, should be understood as the striving and leitmotif of the king. There, the king preferred to surround himself with his closest friends, the intellectual elite of his court and enlightened scientists and writers from Italy and France.

What you will see:

• Palace & Park Sanssouci
• Palace Cecilienhof
• Nauener and Brandenburg Gates
