This is a lovely park, with many contrasts in it's different sections. It is very large and the downside is that you can get tired, but as it is free you can enjoy as much as you like. Because of time we didn't visit any of the Palaces within the park, however our general impression of Potsdam is that it... More

At no cost we walked the grounds and marveled at the landscaping and architecture around the palace. I recommend riding a bike but be prepared to lock it up when you visit the structures, only one avenue is authorized for bike travel. You are going to need several hours to see everything, at least half a day. If you don't... More

Park Sanssouci is a must-see place. The whole area offers a great variety to discover a part of important history. It is well maintained and a lot to see and photograph. There are walking tours on offer (around 3,5h walking), but you can easily walk yourself with some prepared notes. I have downloaded free mp3 files from the Potsdam tourism... More

Visiting the park is most likely an extention of visiting the palaces of Sanssoucie, which are certainly a fantastic experience not to miss for a number of reasons. The park in itself is a lovely walk from one site to another, including the kitch China house, and a descent Botanical garden. Naturally, the best visit would be in a warm... More

Lots of walking but fantastic on a beautiful day, and well worth taking a lot of time to explore. You could easily spend a very long day here.

I spent a day in the park, walking around and visiting the different palaces. The park itself is large and beautiful. There are plenty of palaces, views, smaller sights the Chinese house and the ruins of a model fortress. If the weather is nice, it's a good place just just walk and enjoy. It can be a bit of a...

The walled terraces below the palace are the closest you will come to the hanging gardens of Babylon. We loved it, the great fountain, the brilliant flower beds, the space for wandering, the lovely old trees, the gilded statues.

Beautiful lush green gardens (just visited in May) and lots of open space. The palaces provide an exceptional experience and in between relaxing in the park and wandering the endless paths makes for a fantastic day. Be sure to check out the windmill and especially Sanssouci Palace and the Neues Palais at the other end, both are absolutely stunning! Beautiful... More

The above title just about sums it up! We were there in October, when some of the leaves were starting to change, and it added a beautiful and colorful depth to the gardens. There are statues and structures hidden throughout, which add to the beauty and awe of the park. Plan on giving yourself plenty of time -- the park... More
