What you can expect
Step back in time and join us for an unforgettable journey to the once royal city of Potsdam! Discover the grand palaces and gardens that the Prussian monarchy called home and see where world leaders, Josef Stalin, Harry Truman and Winston Churchill, met to shape the post-war fate of Europe and Germany. You can either opt for an option with a guide and a scenic train ride to Potsdam, or choose an option with a private driver and car in addition to the guide.
Get ready for a day full of history, excitement, and adventure! Your knowledgeable local guide will either pick you up in Berlin by train or take you directly to Potsdam with a private driver and car. First stop, the “Bridge of Spies,” where the US and Soviet Union exchanged captured agents during the Cold War.
Next, marvel at the Marble Palace and the historic Cecilienhof Palace, where the famous Potsdam Conference took place. Stroll through the Nauen Gate, the Dutch Quarter and Potsdam's Brandenburg Gate built to honour Frederick the Great's victories in the Silesian Wars.
You won't want to miss the beautiful Sanssouci Gardens, including the Church of Peace, Picture Gallery, and the iconic Sanssouci Palace - the heart of Potsdam. Walk around the palace, learn about Frederick the Great's grave and the historic windmill.
