Discover Potsdam

Potsdam is a UNESCO World Heritage city – a city of palaces and gardens set amidst the idyllic Havel lakes, shaped by over 1,000 years of history. It is also a vibrant cultural hub, a UNESCO Creative City of Film, and a center of education and science. Numerous monuments and fascinating examples of modern architecture await discovery.

International influences from France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Russia, and many other parts of the world have repeatedly provided valuable development impulses, leaving their mark on the city’s architecture, craftsmanship, and way of life. These influences can still be experienced today in the Dutch Quarter, Weberplatz in Babelsberg, and the Russian Colony Alexandrowka.
