City tour / walk Potsdam

When you hear Potsdam, you certainly immediately think of Sanssouci Palace. But the city has even more to offer than the former summer residence of Frederick the Great. The Russian colony Alexandrowka, the Dutch Quarter and the former Bohemian Weavers' Quarter, all historic quarters of the city, also contribute to Potsdam's special charm. On the way through the historic city center with its beautifully restored buildings, you will pass the Dutch Quarter with its charming gabled houses, the Russian colony Alexandrowka and learn about the importance of the Glienicke Bridge. Afterwards, a tour through the park of Cecilienhof Palace awaits you. The tour continues to the imposing summer palace of Sanssouci. Frederick the Great had this palace built as a place of tranquility, where he could devote himself to art, music and culture without worry (sans souci), far from the hustle and bustle of Berlin. Join us for a guided walk through the impressive grounds of the estate before heading to the ship/main train station in Berlin.

"The Pearl of the Baltic Sea" with its dreamy sandy beach and magnificent villas from the Wilhelminian period enjoys great popularity again nowadays.

Where once the Mann brothers, Gorky and Tolstoy walked, today's excursion takes you past impressive Wilhelminian villas, the unmistakable turret-crowned pier of Ahlbeck and the longest pier on the Baltic Sea in Heringsdorf. The pier with the restaurant pavilion is the unmistakable landmark of Ahlbeck and a popular backdrop in film and television.
