Sanssouci Palace

Opening Hours: Open from 8:00am-5:00pm

Ticket Price: 14 EUR

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-2 Hours

Location: Maulbeerallee, 14469 Potsdam, Germany

Sanssouci Palace is located in the northern suburbs of Potsdam and was built by King Frederick II of Prussia to imitate the Palace of Versailles in France. The name of the palace comes from the French word for "carefree". The entire palace and garden area is 90 hectares. Because it was built on a dune, it is also called "Palace on the Dune". Sanssouci Palace is dominated by Rococo architecture, and the rooms still maintain an elegant and harmonious arrangement. In the large park are other palace buildings such as the Neues Palais, the Neue Kammern, the Chinese Pavilion (ChinesischesHaus), the Orangerieschloss or the SchlossCharlottenhof. On the east side of the palace is a gallery (Bildergalerie) that houses 124 famous paintings, most of which are masterpieces by Italian and Dutch painters during the Renaissance.

Day 1 | Afternoon

Now we come to another great highlight in the city: Schloss Cecilienhof.

Schloss Cecilienhof

Ticket Price: 6 EUR

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-1 Hours

Location: Im Neuen Garten 11, 14469 Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany

The Zelzlienhof Palace was built in a new garden that stretches out on the lake. It is better to call it an English mansion than a palace. The last Prince William of the Horn Soleil family and his family lived here, and the palace was named after the princess - Cecilien. It is famous for the Potsdam Conference from July 17th to August 2nd, 1945. Before the end of World War II, the leaders of the United States, Britain, and the former Soviet Union held talks here to discuss the post-war treatment of Germany and the countermeasures for Japan to surrender. The conference room is now preserved as it is for tourists to visit. There are also lounges for representatives of various countries, which can also be visited. (Indoor photography is not allowed) The entire palace has 5 inner courtyards with a total of 176 halls.
