Pass By: Ringerkolonnade, Lustgarten, Potsdam, Brandenburg Germany
Potsdam’s Old Town is one of the most beautiful baroque centers in all of Europe, yet the city is often overshadowed by its popular neighbour, Berlin. On this walking tour, I’ll share some of East Germany’s unique appeal with you. You’ll hear its history from as far back as the 1700s, through to World War II, all the way to today. I’ll show you the main sights, some lesser-known but equally rewarding spots, and a few of my favourite places in the city too.
