The beautiful city of Potsdam is just a short train ride away from Berlin, surrounded by a fairytale landscape of forests and waterways. Enjoy a relaxed trip from Berlin on this 4-hour trip to Potsdam, the former residence of centuries of Prussian kings. From the ridiculous to the impressive, from the ineffective to the mighty, you’ll learn how Prussia rose from a minor European power to the foundation of the German Empire. Oh, and find out why Germans leave potatoes on Frederick the Great’s grave!

From the Potsdam train station, set off with your expert guide to marvel at the impressive architecture of the historic city centre.  Then, continue through the tree-lined avenues of the famous and impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sanssouci Gardens with decorative fountains, ornate flower beds, and splendid palaces. We will end the tour directly on front of the Sanssouci Palace.

After the tour, you can decide to return to Berlin together with your guide or why not stay behind, and explore even more of this delightful destination?  With several UNESCO World Heritage palaces, charming restaurants, and independent boutiques to enjoy, Potsdam is a picturesque break from the bustle of Berlin.
