POTSDAM - how Frederick made a small town great

Potsdam, located about 40 km / 25 miles South-West of Germany's capital, is often considered Berlin's suburb. As a matter of fact, it can be reached by regional or urban train in more or less half an hour. Potsdam has barely 175,000 inhabitants but is still the most densely populated city of the federal country Brandenburg - and also its capital.

Sanssouci Palace is Potsdam's highlight, no matter what.

All this might make it sound like a cute, drowsy hamlet, but you'll be amazed to see it's rich heritage - and how Frederick made this small town great.
