Prussian Splendor

Potsdam, the historical residence of the Prussian royals, is

Great. This is a tour through the countryside between

Berlin and Potsdam, with beautiful landscapes,

inviting lakes, and extravagant Prussian residences.

Its highlights are the Schloss Charlottenburg,

Schloss Glienicke and its surrounding lakes, and

the breathtaking Potsdam palaces, and the

churches in the historic city.
