Departure by coach with local guides. In Potsdam, the visit will begin with a walk through the gardens of Sanssouci, where you will climb the paths and stairs leading to the grand terrace, home to the summer residence of Frederick II, known as the Great, the Sanssouci Palace, built between 1745 and 1747. Frederick II resided there to relax, away from the formalities of the Berlin court. The king’s personal tastes had such an influence on the design and decoration that it is sometimes referred to as “Frederician Rococo.” You will then take a coach tour around the Sanssouci park to admire its many remarkable buildings. Your visit will continue with a stop at the "Blauer Lichterglanz" Christmas Market, famous for its blue lights that illuminate the market in a spectacular way. These lights create a unique ambiance, bathing the area in an enchanting glow. The festive atmosphere of the market is enhanced by this illumination, offering a fairy-tale backdrop that transforms the site into a true Christmas kingdom.
