What to do and see in Potsdam, Brandenburg: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

February 23, 2022 Christa Meece

Potsdam was the residence of the Prussian kings and German Kaisers until 1918. It is the site of the parks and palaces of Sanssouci, the largest World Heritage Site in Germany. The city is now the capital of the German federal state of Brandenburg and a home to three public colleges and a major film production studio.

Schloss Cecilienhof

This historic country house is the site where Truman, Churchill and Stalin met at the famous Potsdam Conference following World War II.

Reviewed By 999jimw - Schonaich, Germany

Sadly, today's generation simply wants to remove the blemishes of mankind's past mistakes as Confederate statues are being destroyed, defaced, and taken down in my beloved country. When will statues of Thomas Jefferson be removed for the slaves he owned? Luckily, this place serves as an important reminder of three leaders who destroyed the Nazi Empire and evil in its path. This historic country house is the site where Truman, Churchill and Stalin met at the famous Potsdam Conference following World War II. Here, Germany was partitioned up and peace reparations were determined. While the conference and the treaty were signed here, one must keep in mind that President Truman was new to international diplomacy and Sir Winston Churchill was voted out and his replacement, Clement Attlee, signed the final treaty. This meant the Jozef Stalin was able to broker a great deal for the Soviet Union. This is how politics and international agreements work.

The gardens are grand even with most statues covered for the winter. I am sure in the season one could walk for hours exploring the grounds. Highly recommend to see.

Lovely place to spend a few hours walking or looking at the nice gardens and flowers. The park is very big, very well kept, beautiful walk, quite, relaxing. Lovely statues inside, many different shapes. A place to visit in Potsdam, definitely.

Park Babelsberg

Reviewed By cookerleo

Park Babelsberg is one of the most beautiful parks I know and it is a must-visit when you're coming to Potsdam. I came here multiple times already and looking forward to come back again. Back in the days it was build as a summer residence for the first emperor of Germany and it's still well preserved, because many green-keepers keeping it clean day for day. There are old traditional buildings all over the park and you have big green meadows where you can relax, do sports or go for a walk with your dog. It's not as crowded as many other parks, especially like in Berlin where I come from and in the summertime a small lido opens at the Havel. I love the landscape with its hills and the lake and if you have a day off you should visit Park Babelsberg. It is easy to reach and just 10-15 minutes by feet from train station Babelsberg.

Neues Palais

Reviewed By Vladimiramirela - Mississauga, Canada

Even if you have a day pass, you need to stop at the gate and make a reservation for an entry hour. I found this huge Late Baroque, royal edifice to be the most interesting to visit, out of all the others we had a chance to see. Here is where the meaning of the French phrase "sans souci" which translates to "without worries" or "carefree" is really reflected in the boundless luxury and whimsical ideas of the king, materialised no matter the cost, effort, and oddity. Some of the over 200 rooms, mostly Rococo style, have totally unexpected decorations and finishes - especially the Grotto Hall - which is a unique exhibit of sea-world theme, including shells, marble and semi-precious stones, artfully incorporated into the walls, ceilings and floors. Unforgettable!

Sanssouci Palace

Friedrich the Great's amazing 18th-century palace, reminiscent of the grandeur of Versailles, is surrounded by a magnificent 600-acre park.

Reviewed By GeorgeW2719

Frederick the Great built this as his summer palace and dubbed it Sanssouci or "Carefree." Often referred to as the German Versailles, Sanssouci boasts charming Rococo style buildings and furnishings--more intimate and less grand than Versailles. The grounds of Sans Souci contain many smaller and charming buildings--but be preferred to walk long distances. Among the most interesting is the Chinese tea pavilion with hilarious European depictions of Chinese figures--not meant to offend--just not well informed. Chinese porcelain is also used in abundance to decorate the walls of the palace. Situated in Potsdam, this requires a train and a bus to get to from Berlin.
