Germany - Potsdam

Discover the capital of the German state of Brandenburg with us, visiting the Old Market square with a town hall modelled on an Italian palazzo, Potsdam City Palace, now home to the Brandenburg state assembly and a gate straight out of a fairy tale – the Nauen Gate. Also, find out why Potsdam’s been so welcoming to outsiders over the centuries – building special quarters for Dutch, Russian and French immigrants. Learn about its history as one of the centers of movie production for over a century, why the wolf has made a comeback in these parts…and where to find the best cheesecake in town.
