About Potsdam, Germany

If you are considering attending this festival, we are sure you will enjoy your time in Potsdam. This is a fascinating, culture-packed city just outside of Berlin. Attractions include the Sans Souci Palace and gardens, art galleries, the Neues Palace, an Orangerie, and Scloss Cecilienhof. Potsdam is also home to the early German film studios, once dormant, but now active again. And since Potsdam is located inside the former East Germany, the transitions between East and West can be astonishing. The town is a piece of living history which we're sure you will enjoy.
