This is where world history was written, agents were exchanged, and great films were produced. A journey through Prussia's glory, the Cold War, and the new nobility. What a wonderful day trip!
On this tour, you'll learn why Potsdam is the city of a thousand palaces, what a Russian colony in the middle of the city is all about, and how Potsdam experienced the Wall and the GDR with its proximity to West Berlin.
