Visit the Neue Kammern, the Picture Gallery and the Neues Palais, the last great palace of the Prussian baroque. Sanssouci Park, one of the largest and most important parks in Europe, offers a combination of fascinating garden design and unconven­tional architecture. The Orangerieschloss, the Drachenhaus and the Historic Mill illustrate this as does the enchanting Chinese House.
The Charlottenhof Palace by Schinkel and the Roman Baths by Persius are integrated harmoniously into the English landscape garden designed by Lenné. The Belvedere on the Klausberg and the antique setting on the Ruinenberg are now again open to visitors after extensive renovation.

Potsdam's second large park, the New Garden, was designed as an English landscape garden at the end of the 18th century. Frederick William II, nephew and heir apparent to Frederick the Great, built the Marmorpalais as his own residence on Heiliger See.
Cecilienhof Palace was built by the last German emperor, William II, for his eldest son between 1913 and 1916. This is where Truman, Stalin and Attlee signed the “Potsdam Agreement” in 1945, thus setting the course of German and European post-war history.

Outstanding garden designers and architects like Lenné, Prince Pückler-Muskau, Schinkel and Persius created a work of art of extraordi­nary beauty. The fantastic view from Babelsberg Castle – built by the later Emperor William I and his wife Augusta von Sachsen-­Weimar – is one of the finest Havel views which Potsdam has to offer.
