This Potsdam Tour takes you on a journey through the city that once housed the kings of the Prussian Empire and the Kaisers of Germany. Known for its beauty, Potsdam boasts some of Europe's most magnificent palaces. Explore Sanssouci Palace, Germany's largest World Heritage site and a favourite of Frederick the Great.

Marmorpalais

Schloss Cecilienhof

one hour

Brandenburg, Germany, built from 1914 to 1917 in the layout of an English Tudor manor house. Cecilienhof was the last palace built by the House of Hohenzollern that ruled the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire, until the end of World War I. It is famous for having been the location of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, in which the leaders of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States made important decisions affecting the shape of post-World War II Europe and Asia.
Sanssouci Palace

one hour

No other palace is more closely associated with Frederick the Great's personality than Sanssouci. The name itself, "Sanssouci" - meaning "without a care" - reflects the king's primary desire and guiding principle. This was his cherished retreat, a place where he found solace and companionship in the company of his dogs. Sanssouci was ultimately his favorite residence and sanctuary, especially during challenging times.
Dutch Quarter

one hour

The Dutch Quarter (Holländisches Viertel) in Potsdam is a charming neighborhood featuring 134 red Dutch brick buildings, nearly all of which have been meticulously restored.
