Potsdam, Germany

Sanssouci Palace & Potsdam Walk

The Elegant Palace of Potsdam Marvel at one of Germany’s most magnificent palaces, elegant in design and rich in history. Drive from your hotel to Potsdam, home to no fewer than 16 castles, palaces and beautifully landscaped parks. Stop to explore the summer home of Frederick the Great, the magnificent rococo palace of Sanssouci. This yellow confection and its glorious garden were built to rival the palatial Château de Versailles. Designed to his ideal of “living without a care,” or sans souci , it became more than his residence for the warmer months—he retreated here in times of difficulty to relax in the company of his beloved dogs. Enjoy a guided tour of the elegant rooms and stroll through the stunning grounds and gardens. (On Mondays, you will visit the spectacular New Palace instead.) After your tour, enjoy lunch on your own before transferring to your ship in Wittenberg. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines. Total time walking or standing is normally not longer than 1.5 hours.
