Birchy’s Berlin Royal Potsdam Tour
Starting at the Old Market the next stop is the Glienecke Brucke, more commonly known as the ‘Bridge of Spies’. From there to the first of the Royal Parks, Frederick Wilhelm II’s New Garden. This is home to not just the Marble Palace but also and the Schloss Cecilianhoff, the site of the Potsdam Conference.
After a stroll through the Old Town, and literally through the other Brandenburg Gate it is onto the jewel in Potsdam’s crown, Frederick the Great’s Park San Soucci. Once there we will pick out the highlights from the many palaces, residences and buildings present there.
