A very beautiful park. But not restored palaces at all. But it's still worth a trip to see. And it's worth taking a walk around the Podsdam. A very beautiful little old town.
We were there in February 1989.GDR...Unheated rooms, humidity,paintings suffer,sculptures are blackened with their limbs tied with wire.There is no money..
Just recently visited.A well-groomed park, facades and monuments are cleared of blackness, flowers and trees are beautiful.The complex itself is given to the University of Potsdam.Beauty and splendor.Palaces and a garden and park complex.Greatness and beauty...!
Frankly speaking, I was completely disappointed, I was impressed only by plane trees, rural flower beds, an uncut, unkempt lawn, there is one moment, we traveled around all the suburbs of St. Petersburg with its palaces, maybe against their background he did not impress us, the city of Potsdam itself was very pleasant
In my opinion, it is more interesting than Versailles. Especially during the period when sculptures are open and wild grapes are blooming with greenery. I like the architecture of the new Sans Souci palace: in the interior of which there are columns with sea jewels, and a hall with a marble floor. The whole Potsdam complex is grandiose. I recommend visiting Cicilienhoff, the venue of the Potsdam Conference, the park and Babelsberg Castle. In the village of Kaput, near Potsdam, the house of A. Einstein has been preserved. Amazing place: there are guided tours inside the house on weekends. I wish you success.
Nice park, fresh air! Admission is free. Palaces, mills, etc. are paid. The mill is open to the public only on weekends!

A very beautiful place! I advise everyone to visit if you are in Potsdam/Berlin. You can get from Berlin by train in 30 minutes from the central station.
The architecture, there are no words, is incomparable. They knew how to build in the old days. But for some reason everything is in disrepair... Dilapidated steps, damp-green walls, some sculptures and sections of walls with traces of black soot (were they burning?) And all this is the palace of Frederick the Great
