Potsdam Walking Tour

Potsdam, Germany

Why Walk Potsdam

Potsdam was the summer residence of Prussian kings, who filled it with palaces and parks. Sanssouci, Frederick the Great's rococo summer palace, sits atop terraced vineyards in a vast park of follies, gardens, and ancillary palaces. The city's Dutch Quarter, Russian Colony, and Baroque old town reflect the cosmopolitan tastes of its royal builders. The Potsdam Conference of 1945, held at Cecilienhof Palace, shaped postwar Europe.
