Potsdam is located just south-west of Berlin and is currently the capital of the German "Land" of Brandenburg.

Potsdam has a unique history, as it has been favoured by several Prussian kings. Consequently, one could wander from one palace to another, marvelling the beauty left behind by the Royals. One of the top spots to visit in Potsdam are the gardens of Royal Palace of Sanssouci (Sans Souci means "without worries" in French); but there are many other palaces from the Prussian era.

After World War II, Potsdam received the world's attention again, this time as the site of the Potsdam Agreement (also featured as background to George Clooney's "The Good German"). A tour to Potsdam would show you some of the gems this city has to offer.
