December 6, 2023,Berlin - Potsdam 😊 Holländisches Viertel – Schloss Sanssouci Runde

Potsdam a city shaped by King Friedrich II 🥲 classic is the Dutch Quarter, park and palace Sanssouci 😊 and Café Haider 😋😂

The St. Nikolai Church on the Alter Markt is very beautiful,

PS: unfortunately the park and castle were in hibernation 😢 but the longest Christmas market was already quite busy

After the carriage ride, a short walk. Nice city with great houses. One can recommend to take a look. 👍🏻
On the way back we made a stop at the Glienicke Bridge. Historically impressive place I just attached the pictures 🤗
