Castles and Park Tours in Potsdam.

Explore the baroque Old Town, Dutch Quarter, suburbs, castles and parks with Great Guides. Immerse yourself in the world of Prussians such as Frederick the Great, Frederick William II or Frederick William IV, all of whom left Potsdam with the most precious possessions. Come with us to the Alter Markt, where much is new or has been created – almost everything with historicising facades and the most modern room architecture. Not only Sanssouci has many stories to tell in Potsdam, many of the other buildings and parks make Potsdam a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We would be pleased to show you the most beautiful sides of this wonderful city.

Charlotten-Yard and
Park Sanssouci

The idea of the Orangery Palace was to combine a utility building (Orangery) with a living space and at the same time create a public space (Rafael copy collection). Afterwards we go to the park designed by Lenné.

Duration approx. 2.5 hours

Marmorpalais and
New Garden

Frederick William II fulfilled a real dream at the Holy Lake with the Marble Palace and the New Garden. Everywhere one meets wonderful view axes for example over to the Peacock Island and many small architectural surprises.

Duration approx. 2,5 hours

Castle Sanssouci and Park Sanssouci

The most famous building of Frederick II and his architect Knobelsdorff is the summer residence Sanssouci. A gem of the Peaceful Rococo period. The boundaries of the palace and park are blurred and merge into a truly royal elegance.

Park Sanssouci

In the picture gallery, Frederick II presented about 180 masterpieces of the Flemish, Dutch and Italian Baroque and Renaissance, e.g. Van Dyck, Hieronymus Bosch, Caravaggio and Rubens. Afterwards we explore the beauties of the park.
