Itinerary

Catch a bus at Luisenplatz and enjoy the sights of the 18th-century Brandenburg Gate, which is a striking cream-colored structure, as well as the water feature.

Since both sides of the bridge were created by different architects, you can compare and contrast their styles from a very high vantage point on the open-top bus. Do you love watching good films with a passion? Get a comprehensive understanding of the history and culture of German filmmaking by stopping by the Film Museum.

Explore the historic city centre, the Dutch Quarter and the former Russian colony Alexandrowka. You can also visit well-known palaces such as Orangerie Palace, which was constructed in the High Renaissance style and was commissioned by King Frederick William IV; New Palace, the largest and most impressive palace ensemble in Sanssouci; the small, neo-classical Charlottenhof Palace, also in Sanssouci Park; and Sansoucci Palace, one of Germany's largest UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Stroll along this charming street with historic brick homes on either side of you, taking in the lively atmosphere as you pass by all the small boutiques and cafés! Situated directly next the breathtaking New Gardens and the Holy Lake is the Marmorpalais, popularly referred to as the Marble Palace. Visit Alexandrowka, the city's Russian colony, to witness Russian-style architecture and have the opportunity to visit the nearby Museum if you're interested in learning more about the Russian influence.
