Description:

Discover the palaces and parks of Potsdam, one of Europe's most enchanting places. Your guide educates you on this former home to kings, emperors, and commissars as you travel through the years. Absorb the city’s fascinating history and take a break in its lush green spaces.

Leave the urban buzz of Berlin behind and take the short train ride to Potsdam—a former playground for the Prussian Royal Family. Their baroque palaces nestle in between green parks and lakes, creating a stunning environment. Admire the regal Sanssouci Palace with its yellow façade and surrounding gardens, full of follies and temples.

Continue to the mock-Tudor Cecilienhof Palace from the Hohenzollern dynasty, renowned for the meeting between Churchill, Truman, and Stalin following WWII. The streets of the alluring Dutch Quarter allow your local guide to provide the narrative of the city’s role in the Cold War. Observe the former KGB jail and stand on Glienicke Bridge—a favorite location for spy swaps between the KGB and CIA.

Relax in the tranquil environment, enjoy some free time at lunch to sample a biergarten (beer garden), and make the most of your time in pretty Potsdam.
