Having a family member who has just moved here is one of those little advantages in life that occur once in while . Had it not been for that, I would probably never have seen this amazing, historic city just outside Berlin.
Potsdam IS full of castles, parklands, and princes of the past, and since reunification, many buildings are still undergoing renovation and restoration. But while all this is going on there is so much to see and do - Theatres, museums, fabulous shops and restaurants and the innumerable lakes offer great recreational opportunities for boat hire and cruises etc.
I am probably the only visitor to Potsdam who didn't visit Sansoucci - so I shall just have to return - and I will..... soon! |

Me again, checking back for new tips and updates. Like Holger, I was very impressed by your tip on the Wannsee Conference House. My older son has just moved to Berlin, so I expect I will be seeing more of Berlin and Potsdam and vicinity sometime soon. | HORSCHECK Sun Aug 24, 2008 22:29 UTC
Interesting and detailed updates here. Especially the Wannsee Conference House info is very well written. | RhineRoll Sun Aug 24, 2008 20:08 UTC
Did you know they even had "gas vans" -- loaded with people who were made to breathe the toxic exhaust gases... at the destination everybody was dead. Learnt that at Yad Vashem. Didn't know this horrible detail before :(( | alancollins Thu Dec 6, 2007 19:00 UTC
Hi Maria. Nice photos & tips. I had heard that Potsdam has a lot more to offer than Sanssouci. |
