3 days in Potsdam Itinerary

Formerly an official residence of the Prussian kings, Potsdam is surrounded by a series of interconnected lakes, parks, and palaces.

Sanssouci Palace and St. Peter Und Paul Kirche are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Step off the beaten path and head to Marmorpalais and Neuer Garten. Change things up with a short trip to Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen in Oranienburg (about 56 minutes away). And it doesn't end there: take in nature's colorful creations at Sanssouci Park, don't miss a visit to Museum Alexandrowka, contemplate the long history of Schloss Cecilienhof, and get great views at Belvedere Castle on the Pfingstberg.
