We will take the "scenic route" from Berlin to Potsdam so you will see how much green there is, how many lakes and canals there are. You will pass the Grunewald Tower and Wannsee. If you like, you can make a stop at the Wannsee Villa, site of the infamous Conference in 1942.

The old Town of Potsdam was unfortunately hit by bombs in the second World War. However, much of the Baroque town remained unscathed.
