Overview of your Berlin tour:

Potsdam lies adjacent to Berlin and for some 250 years it enjoyed the status of second residence town for the Princes of Brandenburg and subsequent Kings of Prussia and German Emperors. Nine generations of Prussian Royals commissioned magnificent palaces and gardens that survived the end of the monarchy in 1918. Let yourself be charmed by this beautiful array of architecture and gardens! The single most famous palace is the "Sanssouci" Palace of the legendary Prussian king Frederick the Great. "Cecilienhof" Palace served as venue for the "Potsdam Conference" at the conclusion of WW 2, with Truman, Churchill and Stalin meeting there in the summer of 1945. I am a native Berliner, but lived in Potsdam for a spell in the early 1990ies. In 1995 I started my career as professional guide in Berlin, and have been acting as guide in Potsdam also since 2001. This tour is a walking tour and also makes use of public transport. Please contact me for information if you would like to include interior visits of palaces.

Your Berlin tour itinerary

The classic 8 hour itinerary including transfer time by train of about 60-90 mins one way from Berlin to Potsdam would focus on the central sights and landmarks of Potsdam: - Sanssouci Palace in exquisite Rococo style and its charming Palace Gardens, - Cecilienhof Palace - venue of the Potsdam Conference of Truman, Churchill and Stalin in the summer of 1945 - Dutch houses in the Dutch Quarter - Potsdam City Palace (reconstructed) - Brandenburg and Nauen City Gates of Potsdam - If you like we can add interior visits (please note that most palaces are closed for interior visits on Mondays and some require prior reservation of tickets & time slots), e. g. - Sanssouci Palace (inside tour with audio guide approx. 40 mins) - Cecilienhof Palace - Historic Rooms of the Potsdam Conference - Bildergalerie / Picture Gallery - Neues Palais (with audio guide, open on Mondays, closed on Tuesdays) I will customize this tour according to your preferences!
