Potsdam in One Day: A City Tour

Potsdam fascinates every visitor to the former residential town of the Prussian kings and today's capital of the Federal State of Brandenburg. World-famous monuments of architecture and gardening design, such as the palaces and gardens of Sanssouci created under Frederick the Great, are surrounded by a wide range of remarkable town buildings from the time of the Baroque, Neoclassicism and the boom years of the 1870s. Badly damaged during the Second World War, the city has completely regained its former historical elegance and atmosphere. Potsdam today is a young city where an impressive past meets a vibrant present. This self-guided walking tour takes you to the most important sights in the centre of the city. In a single day - with the occasional welcome break to savour Potsdam's hospitality - you can experience the city's 1000-year-old history in an entertaining and informative way.
