Located just 22 miles (35 km) from Berlin and easily accessible by public transport, the city of Potsdam was once the informal residence of the Prussian monarchy. Today, its parks and palaces are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We will explore Sanssouci, the elegant Rococo palace, and its picturesque gardens while learning about the captivating stories of King Friedrich the Great.

Enjoy lunch in the charming Dutch Quarter and a stroll through the Old Town of Potsdam, before heading back to Berlin.

(Please note: Visits inside the Sanssouci Palace are available exclusively as audio-guided tours. Cecilienhof Palace is closed for renovations until fall 2027 and can only be viewed from the outside.)
