Welcome to Potsdam

“Without a care” – that is the headline of Potsdam’s most famous palace, Sanssouci. But it is also a feeling that can be experienced in many places within the city: in the expansive parks which belong to the UNESCO World Heritage as well as in the lively city centre. Here, magnificent baroque facades meet inviting backyards. International art mixes with local street culture. Very close to Germany’s vibrant capital Berlin, yet life in Potsdam runs at a different pace.

The city itself is an island encircled by the river Havel and provides an ideal setting for boating, swimming and waterside strolls. It’s no surprise that Prussian kings felt inspired by this landscape. This is where they indulged their yearnings for faraway lands and created their own Prussian Arcadia.

Potsdam invites you on a journey through Europe: the oranges in Sanssouci Park make you dream of Italy, the red bricks of the Dutch Quarter remind you of Amsterdam. And within the next moment you are part of a fairy tale in the Russian Colony Alexandrovka. Whether by bike, on foot or on the water – Brandenburg’s state capital impresses with a well-developed network of paths with idyllic views of the picturesque river Havel and its lake scenery.

The destination has not only influenced arts, architecture and science in Europe but also the film industry. The world’s oldest large-scale film studio was founded in Potsdam-Babelsberg. To honour Potsdam’s impact and achievements of the last 100 years of making films, the city became Germany’s first UNESCO Creative City of Film.

So, what are you waiting for?! Be a part of Potsdam’s living history. #deinpotsdam
