Description
Potsdam from the water's edge in 90 minutes
This cruise is dedicated in a special way to the city, its development, and its sights
In just 90 minutes, you'll pass Potsdam's most beautiful waterfront sights.
The multifaceted architectural examples will bring to life the development of Potsdam from a Slavic fishing village to the residence of the Prussian kings, its transformation in the former GDR, and its development into the modern, livable, and lovable state capital of Brandenburg since 1990.
During the on-board moderation, the reconstructed center around the state parliament in the guise of the historic city palace is illuminated, as is the oldest settlement area of the city or the development of the area on Schiffbauergasse from the former industrial and military site to an international art and cultural quarter and the transformation of the Berlin suburb from a poor neighborhood to a fashionable residential area for celebrities.
Of course, you'll learn exciting things about the Friendship Island, Babelsberg Palace and Park, the Glienicke Bridge, and much more, before we direct your gaze to the historical and present-day paths across the Havel and the redesigned Lustgarten from the water side.
Passing the panorama of the warehouse district on the left and the rebuilt tower of the garrison church on the right, you'll then enter the Neustadt Havel Bay, where you can marvel at outstanding examples of the orientalizing industrial architecture of the 19th century and the organic architecture of the GDR right next to each other, with the historic steam engine house in the style of a mosque and the "Seerose" restaurant.
Passing the Hermannswerder peninsula, your journey leads back to the port of Potsdam.
