Potsdam city breaks are set in idyllic locations surrounded by the state of Brandenburg, a unique landscape characterised by tranquil, meandering waterways, pristine nature and historic towns. The beautiful city of Potsdam, situated just south west of Berlin is the capital of the state of Brandenburg.
Today, the city's reputation as a lively cultural centre is enhanced by the fascinating architecture of its historical districts such as the Dutch Quarter with its gabled red brick houses, or the exclusive residential area of Babelsberg with its neo-Gothic castle and the Filmpark Babelsberg, Germany's one-time response to Hollywood. Located on the waterfront, Potsdam is a world away from the bustling busy streets that can be found just north of the city that favour those on Berlin City Breaks.
Potsdam City Break
The state capital of Potsdam was home to the former summer residence of the Prussian Kings, the elegant Sanssouci Palace is situated in the centre with its beautiful landscaped gardens. The Sanssouci gardens are perfect for couples on a romantic Potsdam city break giving you the option to wander, surrounded by carefully planted flowers and hedgerows.
The Palace was once the summer residence of Frederick the Great who would hold lavish events and meetings in the surrounding parkland. Potsdam is a beautiful place to visit during Christmas time, with a magical atmosphere covered in glistening white snow and twinkling lights. The Potsdam Christmas Market is packed with visitors each year who enjoy the festivities and cuisine available from the many jovial stalls.
