Private Potsdam -- Old town, Sanssouci Palace & Gardens of Kings
Overview
Discover the elegance and rich history of Potsdam on a private tour from Berlin, exploring the former royal residence of the Prussian kings and German emperors. Just outside the capital, Potsdam is renowned for its magnificent palaces, landscaped gardens, and fascinating stories of royalty, war, and diplomacy.
Visit Cecilienhof Palace, where the leaders of the Allied powers met during the Potsdam Conference in 1945 to shape the post-war world. Nearby, stop at the famous Glienicke Bridge, known as the “Bridge of Spies,” where Cold War spy exchanges between East and West once took place.
Stroll through the beautiful Sanssouci Park, home to the elegant Sanssouci Palace, Frederick the Great’s beloved summer residence, as well as the grand New Palace, built to demonstrate Prussian power and prestige. Along the way, see the tranquil Friedenskirche, inspired by Italian architecture, and pass through Potsdam’s Brandenburg Gate while exploring charming squares and historic streets.
