We caught a bus, then a train from Berlin to Potsdam and return. We spent the day walking around Sanssouci Park, and looked in and around the ensemble of palaces and garden complexes, which were built under Frederick the Great (King of Prussia) during the 18th Century, and were expanded under Frederick William IV in the 19th Century.
The first visit was to the Chinesisches Teehaus.
The next visit was to the RomÃsche Bader.
The next visit was to the Schloss Charlottenhof, one of the palaces that required special footwear to be worn.
The next visit was to the Neues Palais - the second photo is of the servants' quarters!
The next visit was to the main attraction - the Schloss Sanssouci, which houses an Andy Warhol painting of Frederick the Great.
We then passed by the Neue Kammern, with the windmill in the background.
Our final visit was to the Orangarie Schloss.
Since we couldn't walk anymore, we had to settle for a view of the pretty city of Potsdam from our local bus.
