Potsdam

Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, is known for its magnificent palaces, sprawling parks, and close ties to Prussian history. The UNESCO World Heritage sites include Sanssouci Palace with its famous terraced gardens, as well as the park and palace landscapes along the Havel River. The city blends Baroque architecture, Prussian court culture, and modern vibrancy.

A highlight of the cultural calendar is the “Night of the Palaces.” During this event, the gardens and palaces—especially Sanssouci—are transformed into a unique atmosphere with elaborate light installations, concerts, and theater performances, attracting numerous visitors every year.
