Overview

Discover Potsdam, the former residence of Prussian kings and the German Kaiser, on a 4-hour guided walking tour. Travel by train from Berlin with your guide, just like the locals. Explore Potsdam’s elegant city center, admire the charming Dutch Quarter, and see landmarks like Potsdam’s Brandenburg Gate. Stroll through the magnificent UNESCO-listed Sanssouci Gardens, filled with fountains, ornate flowerbeds, and grand palaces.

Learn about the city’s rich history and architecture as you walk through its tree-lined avenues. Please note that this tour does not include entry to any buildings. The tour concludes at 2 PM in front of Sanssouci Palace — perfect timing if you wish to visit inside afterward. For interior visits, we recommend reserving tickets shortly after 2 PM with the Stiftung Preußischer Schlösser und Gärten.
