Sanssouci Park

Go to Potsdam, a perfect place to relax from the hustle of the city, walking through the gardens and palaces. Southwest of Berlin, just over 25 km, it's the capital of the state of Brandenburg. It housed the splendor and decadence of the Prussian Empire until the Weimar Republic was established in 1919. The focus of Potsdam is Sanssoucci Park, Unesco World Heritage, which offers a complex of palaces and gardens, begun in the eighteenth century during the reign of Frederick the Great, expanded later in the nineteenth century. Remarks: The Sanssouci Palace, Rococo, made for the enjoyment of the King, a refuge for Frederick the Great's private life and where he could indulge his love of music.

This is a park within the city of Potsdam, near Berlin. The whole city is very interesting because it played a very important role at the end of WWII. There is the building where all the officials involved made peace. It's very interesting because it still exudes the feeling of war. Impressive. But the most beautiful park is the Sansouci Scholse, with its modernist buildings filled with caryatids and sculptures of human figures arranged recently. But this park is less interesting because, as is becoming more common in Berlin, its more of a forest than a park, with a large area and varied vegetation like a forest.

But visit late summer so you can enjoy the fruit orchards and the statues. In winter the statues are boxed up for protection.
