Potsdam is renowned for its beautiful palaces, expansive parks, and significant historical landmarks. As the former residence of Prussian kings and German emperors, the city boasts a rich heritage that is reflected in its well-preserved buildings and monuments. Here are some highlights you can expect to see on our guided tour:
- Sanssouci Palace: Often referred to as the "Prussian Versailles," Sanssouci Palace is a masterpiece of Rococo architecture. Built as a summer retreat for Frederick the Great, the palace is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Prussian monarchy.
- New Palace: Located at the western end of Sanssouci Park, the New Palace is an impressive Baroque structure that served as a royal residence. Its grand halls and lavish interiors are a testament to the grandeur of the Prussian empire.
- Cecilienhof Palace: This Tudor-style palace is famous for hosting the Potsdam Conference in 1945, where world leaders met to discuss the post-World War II order. Today, it stands as a museum and a symbol of a pivotal moment in history.
- Glienicke Bridge: Known as the "Bridge of Spies," Glienicke Bridge was a key site during the Cold War, where East and West exchanged captured spies. The bridge offers stunning views of the Havel River and is a poignant reminder of the city's divided past.
