Potsdam Walking Tour

For nearly three centuries, the scenic town of Potsdam just outside Berlin was the residence of the Prussian kings, princes, and German emperors who created a fairy-tale landscape of palaces, gardens, and churches that ranks among the most beautiful in Europe. 

Discover Potsdam on Foot tour takes you to the Castle of Babelsberg , Marble Palace and see a very idyllic Russian village . No surprise that Potsdam has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage status . 

But the cruel realities of 20th Century history intervened in 1945. Visit the grounds of Cecilienhof Palace , scene of the Potsdam Conference , where an American president(Truman ), a Soviet dictator(Stalin ), and a British prime minister(Churchill ) sat down to shape the future of Germany and Europe after World War II. Cross the “spy swap” bridge, where Gary Powers was traded in 1962 and see the former Stasi prison, run by the East German secret police. The tour ends at the enchanting surroundings of Sanssouci Park and Palace. You can then explore Sanssouci on your own or accompany the guide back to Berlin.
