About Potsdam

Looking for a day trip from Berlin? Consider Potsdam as your go-to place. This city is just 25 km southwest of Berlin and is the capital of Brandenburg. Potsdam is situated on the River Havel and was historically a residence of Prussian kings and the German Kaiser until 1918. King Friedrich II (Frederick the Great) masterminded the city to balance people and nature; architecture and landscape. As a result, Potsdam features a series of interconnected lakes, parks, and palaces. Most of Potsdam’s parks and palaces survived World War II without damage, and in 1945, this city hosted the Potsdam Conference where the future of Germany was decided. Must-see sights in Potsdam include the Schloss and Park Sanssouci, Museum Barberini, Alter Market, and Neues Palais.
