Potsdam & Sanssouci<br />
POTSDAM IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF EUROPEAN cultural history – a<br />
splendid centre of European Enlightenment, which reached its climax in<br />
the 18th century in the architectural and artistic design of Frederick the<br />
Great’s palace. The palace complex of Sanssouci, with its beautiful, extensive<br />
park, is both magnificent and playful and has been designated a World<br />
Heritage Centre of Culture by UNESCO. Every year, it enchants millions of<br />
visitors from around the world. The town of Potsdam, numbering some<br />
300,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the federal province of Brandenburg.<br />
This former garrison town has much to delight its visitors, including small<br />
palaces and old churches, idyllic parks and historic immigrant settlements.<br />
