Potsdam sits just 24 km southwest of Berlin 🚗 — close enough for a day trip, yet different enough that you won't want to leave.
This is also home to Sanssouci Palace — the beloved residence of the Prussian king Frederick the Great (1712-1786). 👑 After visiting the palace, I made sure to spend plenty of time in Potsdam's city center too, because places like this simply can't be rushed through. 🚶♂️ I wandered among the old plastered façades and cobbled streets and just soaked it all in. 🙆♂️
As I strolled around, I came across the Brandenburg Gate. And no, you're not mixing up cities — this isn't the famous gate in Berlin. 😉 Here, just walking around is a feast for the eyes. 👀
I'm so glad I got to visit one of Germany's most varied and beautiful cities. 🖤❤️💛
