Stroll around the “Versailles of Germany”, with a fascinating tour of the charming city of Postdam. Steeped in history, you will learn about the interesting history of Frederick II, otherwise known as Frederick “the Great.” This ruler was a passionate lover of the arts and culture, and thus he made great efforts to beautify the city of Potsdam with manifold palaces and gardens, some of which seem to belong among the pages of a fairy tale.

It’s hard to imagine that this beautiful city was the scene of heavy bombing during World War II and the Cold War. Today it is a recognized World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and the capital of Brandenburg since 1990 and attempts to regain its former glory since the age of Frederick II.

Potsdam’s more recent history is also a matter of interest: on this tour we invite you to cross the bridge where the CIA and KGB spies used to exchange confidential information during the Cold War. We will also pass by the palace where Stalin himself met with Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman in order to divide Germany, an event that would bring danger and drama to the lives of many.

Delve deep into the Dutch Quarter and explore the marvellous Sanssouci Park, as well as a handful of other breathtaking palaces from the Hohenzollern dynasty in days long gone. Stroll through the Old Market Square and the evocative historic centre home of the Brandenburg Gate. This trip invites you to indulge in a leisurely walk, the best way to spend a day outdoors while discovering a bit more of Germany’s astounding culture, history and traditions.
