Beskrivelse
Oplev essensen af Potsdams magi på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Potsdam, en by, der ikke kun kan prale af maleriske paladser, fredfyldte søer og frodige haver, men også har et fængslende historisk gobelin. Gå en tur gennem det hollandske kvarter, et unikt ensemble af røde murstensbygninger uden sidestykke i Europa. Oplev den spændende arv fra Frederick William I, 'Soldat King'. Udforsk det fantastiske Sanssouci-palads, Frederik den Stores elskede residens, beliggende i en park udsmykket med templer og kirker.

Tag med os på en tur, der kombinerer skønheden i Potsdams landskaber med fortidens intriger, der lover en uforglemmelig oplevelse.

Rejseplan
Mere end 30 paladser og haver i Berlin og Brandenburg inviterer besøgende til at tage på livlige tidsrejser tilbage til de preussiske konger og dronningers strålende æra. Vidnesbyrd om den gennemførte arkitektur og landskabsgartneri i Preussen har de stort set tilhørt UNESCOs verdensarv siden 1991. Deres paradisiske skønhed er i overensstemmelse med deres sobriquet "Prussian Arcadia". Blandt disse er det verdenskendte Sanssouci-palads i Potsdam og Charlottenburg-slottet i Berlin.
Frederik den Stores fornøjelsespalads byder på smuk arkitektur i rokokostil og en storslået paladshave. Den 14. april 1745 blev grundstenen lagt til nutidens verdensberømte Sanssouci-palads. Sanssouci er et mesterværksensemble af arkitektur, skulpturer og havekunst.
En kolossal paladsbygning, dens høje tamburkuppel, der kan genkendes på afstand, rejser sig i den vestlige ende af Hauptallee (hovedpromenaden) i Sanssouci Park: Neues Palais (Ny Palads). I stærk kontrast til det intime og ret beskedne Sanssouci-palads tjente det store paladskompleks officielle, repræsentative behov. Store festsale, pragtfulde gallerier og kongeligt designede suiter, for ikke at nævne Sanssoucis barokke paladsteater i den sydlige fløj, venter på besøgende i dets indre. Udvalgte værker fra 1700-tallets kunst og dekorativ kunst kan ses på paladset i deres originale sammenhænge. Det nye palads er den sidste kongelige residens Frederik den Store ville have bygget i sin park. Det var en demonstration af den preussiske stats uformindskede magt og rigdom efter afsættelserne af Syvårskrigen (1756-63).
Det hollandske kvarter, i daglig tale også kendt som det hollandske kvarter, er et distrikt i centrum af Potsdam, der blev bygget mellem 1733 og 1742 som en del af den anden byudvidelse under ledelse af den hollandske bygmester Jan Bouman fra Amsterdam.[1] Kvartalet består af 134 murstenshuse, som er opdelt i fire karréer af Mittelstrasse og Benkertstrasse. Under Friedrich Wilhelm I, kendt som "soldaterkongen", blev bydelen planlagt, og de to vestlige pladser blev bygget. Efter hans død i 1740 lod hans søn og efterfølger Frederik II kvarteret med de to østlige pladser færdiggøre stort set efter faderens planer.
Cecilienhof Country House, bygget fra 1913-17 efter tegninger af Paul Schultze i stil med en herregård, var det sidste palads opført af Hohenzollerns. Fra den 17. juli til den 2. august 1945 fandt topmødet for Anden Verdenskrigs sejrrige magter sted her med deltagelse af "de tre store" – den amerikanske præsident Harry S. Truman, den britiske premierminister Winston Churchill (efterfulgt af hans efterfølger Clement Attlee) og den sovjetiske statsoverhoved Joseph Stalin. Potsdam-konferencen var en af de vigtigste historiske begivenheder i det 20. århundrede. Det ses rundt om i verden som et symbol på afslutningen på Anden Verdenskrig og begyndelsen af den kolde krig, som førte til Europas deling og opførelsen af Berlinmuren. Potsdam-aftalen, der blev vedtaget på Cecilienhof, lagde grunden til en ny orden i Tyskland, Europa og verden efter Anden Verdenskrig.

Shady was our guide today. He was knowledgeable and took time to make sure we saw things we wanted to see. The tour was about a 45 minute car ride out of Berlin. But the time there was packed full with a great lunch recommendation to end our time in the city.
Shady treated us to a first class tour! He was efficient and informative, and made sure we got to all the important sights in a timely fashion. We had an enjoyable expeience.
Thanks James , you and your family will have always close friend in Germany.
Shadi is full of information and energy! Potsdam is a place where you can spend days and days. What shadi is able to put into one day is amazing! Looking forward to coming back already :-)
Thanks Lauren , stay in touch, my god bless you and your family.
We had a wonderful time on our trip to Potsdam. Shadi was terrific, experienced guide who made us feel like we were on the excursion with a good friend. He is extremely knowledgeable, which made our time all the more interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this excursion!
We enjoyed our day with Shadi. Potsdam is lovely with many beautiful places to see. We were, however, disappointed that we did not get to see inside Sanssouci Palace. That was a priority for me, but the timing of the ticket didn’t work with the timing of the tour. There wasn’t the flexibility in the day and tickets aren’t purchased ahead. But, as Shadi reminded us, Potsdam requires more than 6 hours. It is well worth the time!
Shadi was very friendly and enjoyable to spend time with. He knows the employees at the castles very well and they go out of their way to accommodate him. It was a nice tour and well worth the cost for a private tour.
This is an enjoyable tour and a wonderful city to visit. We really enjoyed the city and look forward to a return trip to visit more of the castles and buildings.
Shadi was an amazing guide! The personalized tour from East Berlin to Potsdam just for me and my 10-year-old…both history buffs. Shadi was professional and knowledgeable, as well as flexible with respect to the weather. While a hiccup with tickets at the Old Palace, Shadi made sure we made the tour. My one and only comment - on me 100% - I wish I would have requested a few formal moments at another tragic historically significant site in the route. But Shadi awesome, patient with children, flexible. Highly recommend!!!
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide (Shadi) who was very helpful and well-informed. He showed us some amazing places such as Cecilienhof palace and Sanssouci palace, which were both very impressive and significant in history (especially for those who are interested in the second world war, Cecilienhof Palace is a must-see). He gave us enough time to explore these places and then he took us to the charming Potsdam old town, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a great Italian restaurant. He also fulfilled our request and took us to the bridge where the US and Soviet used to exchange prisoners during the cold war, as shown in the bridge of spies' movie. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Berlin.
