Day Trip to Potsdam

Potsdam is one of Europe's most magnificent royal cities. Created by the Prussian Kings to rival the Baroque opulence of Versailles, the palaces and parks of Potsdam are spread over 500 hectares and include over 150 buildings dating from 1730 to 1916. It was made a UNESCO world heritage site in 1990 and provides a peaceful and beautiful respite from the hustle and bustle of Berlin.
Throughout the day, your guide will tell you the plethora of stories of the people behind the pomp and splendour of the buildings. Your guide will meet you after the audio-guided tour and walk with you through the Sansoucci gardens past the lovely Chinese Tea Room to the New Palace which you'll explore from the outside. Then it's time for lunch and your guide will be only too happy to help with recommendations.
After a lunch break, you'll spend the afternoon visiting the Cecilienhof palace (from the outside) and wander around the charming Dutch quarter – with its laid-back ambiance, courtyards and cafes, bars and galleries. Your guide will also show you the Alter Markt, Neuer Markt, St. Nikolai Church, City Palace, and The Brandenburg Gate so you'll really have covered everything!
