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.

Walk through the park to the New Palace, take a photo at the Chinese teahouse, and admire the royal vineyards.
