Discover the Opulence of Sanssouci Park and Palace
- Sanssouci Palace: A UNESCO World Heritage site, Sanssouci is often referred to as the Prussian Versailles. It was the summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, designed for relaxation or "without cares" (sans souci in French). The terraced vineyards and the rococo palace itself are a testament to the aesthetic tastes and philosophical ideals of the era.
- Neues Palais (New Palace): At the other end of Sanssouci Park, this baroque palace stands majestically with its 200 rooms festooned in ornateness, signaling the power and prestige of the Prussian state.
Voyage Through a Blend of Culture and History
- Dutch Quarter: With its 134 red brick buildings in the Dutch style, this area gives you a feel of having traveled to the Netherlands without leaving Germany. The quarter is now a delightful district full of cafes, boutiques, and antique shops.
- Russian Colony Alexandrowka: This hamlet is a part of Potsdam's unique architectural heritage, built to accommodate Russian singers during the reign of Frederick William III. The colony's orchard and the small, yet charming, houses provide a picturesque setting for visitors.
Architectural Splendor and Luxuriant Landscapes
- Babelsberg Park and Castle: Overlooking the Havel River, Schloss Babelsberg is a neo-Gothic gem tactically positioned within an enchanting park. This castle was the summer residence of William I, and provides sensational views for those who admire romantic architecture and sprawling greenery.
- Glienicke Bridge: Also known as the 'Bridge of Spies', it was a famous Cold War exchange point. Standing on this bridge provides not only a historical throwback but also impressive views of the surrounding palatial and natural landscapes. See on Google Maps
