Potsdam is a beautiful historic city near Berlin. It is known for its magnificent palaces, parks, and gardens. Also, the Russian village Alexandrowka and the Dutch Quarter. You will see it all! I will tell you how Potsdam developed, how the Prussian kings spent their time there, and share the legends and interesting stories associated with the city.

You will see Sanssouci Palace - the beloved residence of Prussian King Frederick the Great. Walk through the park to the New Palace, take a photo at the Chinese teahouse, and admire the royal vineyards.
