The Potsdam City Guides answer what most visitors wonder: which palace to book and when, where to eat between the parks, where Potsdam goes for a drink when it is not heading to Berlin and which lakes, villages and old towns are a short ride away. For every place you get the reason to go, what to order or look for and a practical tip, and the guides open in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Globus Grillbar
Am Kanal, near the Film Museum
An old-school grill counter where locals line up for chicken off the spit. A half chicken with a roll is one of the cheapest proper meals in the centre. From the food guide.
Museum Barberini
Alter Markt, old town
A rebuilt baroque palace on the old market square, home to Hasso Plattner’s Impressionists, including one of the biggest Monet groups outside Paris, plus strong changing exhibitions. From the things to do guide.
Pfaueninsel
Berlin-Wannsee, bus 218 from S Wannsee
An island with no cars, a small white castle that looks like a stage set, peacocks walking free and ancient oaks. A ferry of a few metres takes you across, and the return ticket includes entry. From the day trips guide.
Plan your Potsdam days
Day one belongs to Sanssouci: walk the free park, book a timed palace slot, see the Picture Gallery and finish with dinner in the Dutch Quarter. On day two, take in the Neuer Garten, the Glienicke Bridge and a palace cruise on the Havel, then spend the evening in a Babelsberg Kneipe or a lakeside beer garden. For a rainy or slow day, mix the Museum Barberini, the Filmmuseum and the memorials with the warm Biosphäre, or take the train to Werder for smoked fish by the water.
