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 capital of Lower Saxony was first mentioned in documents as early as 1150 under the name "Hanovere" and thus looks back on a long and eventful history. Today's large city had its origins as a simple trading center on the Leine River. This gradually developed into a medieval city, which continued to grow and later became a royal seat. So there is much to discover here, be it the delightful old town or the New Town Hall, for example.
