Park Sanssouci

We took a day trip from Berlin to Potsdam. Other than Sanssouci Palace, I didn't know what else there was to see here. We did see the historic windmills and New Palace. We also had a nice lunch at the Dragon House. The grounds are expansive. We came on a hot day, so we didn't walk around and explore as much as I wish we could've. What little I did see was worth the trip though!

What a wonderful park! This is one of my favorite park all time. Even I don't live in Potsdam, I still visit this park time to time, for a nice walk and some fresh air. It doesn't took that much time to travel Berlin to here. And it totally worth it.

Sanssouci Park is a large park surrounding Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, it's really big, if you want to walk through the whole park, that could take hours.

Inside the park, there are couple famous and beautiful places. Walk through the terracing of the vineyard, the completion of the palace, all the cool structures around. Beautiful garden and giant trees around the path, it surly made it outstanding. Most of people come here for the Sanssouci palace, it's really a beautiful piece. Beside that, Neues Palais, Schloss Charlottenhof and Potsdam university are also here, personal I like the Lustgarten area a lot.

Of course, the best time to visit the park, it's summer. Because of the plants. For me, I like it in every seasons. It is just like listening to classical music, it got it own beauty every season.

The park isn't far from the Potsdam main railway station. You can either take the bus, which took about 10 mins to get here. Or go on foot, it took around 15-20 mins. If you are visiting this city, there are lot to see on the way. Probably go with the walk it better. This is surely a sight you can't miss in Potsdam. For locals, This is an amazing place just hang around with family or friends, jogging, chat with friends and recharge yourself.

This was so beautiful. Gorgeous. The tour through the palace was wonderful, although you had to pay an extra $20 to take photos. Which, I think you're an idiot if you pay. Needless to say we got some good photos :)
Beautiful gardens. You need a full day to see everything, and try not to go when it is too hot. We had beer at a small food/espresso cart in the park. I think not many people knew about it, but was next to a creek with reclining chairs to a view only you can dream about!

Absolutely beautiful park, leafy and well-manicured. On a bright November day the autumn colours were stunning. Be aware that the park and palace buildings are currently undergoing major restoration work but that didn't spoil our visit as we hadn't gone with particular plans about what we wanted to see, and I'm sure I will be even more wowed when I visit in the future to see the buildings and gardens restored to their full splendour.

It's free to wander through the grounds and admire the building exteriors and views. We arrived into Park Sanssouci station on the train from Berlin and from there it was roughly a five minute walk to the park entrance on the west side (we were also passed by a shuttle bus connecting the train station with the park once we'd already started walking). Large signs with maps on them are usefully placed near the entrances and copies are available to buy too. Once we realised the scale of the park we decided to have a nosey around the Neues Palais and the buildings opposite, then stroll along the long path eastwards, towards Schloss Sanssouci and then out into the town of Potsdam (we travelled back on the train towards Berlin from Potsdam Hauptbahnhof). If you wanted to thoroughly explore all of the buildings it would easily take a day.

It's an easy and worthwhile trip to make from Berlin, less than an hour on the train, and if you have an ABC travel ticket your journey is included.

Wow! Park Sanssouci has to be my favourite place in Germany. Located in Potsdam which is a short ride on the S-Bahn from Berlin, Park Sanssouci was the home of the Prussian (later German) royal family.

The park is huge and takes hours to walk around. The biggest crowds are around Sanssouci Palace itself but I felt that the Neues Palace was just as good. There were a number of other sites like the windmill and church which are also worth checking out. To walk around the park is free but to go into the different palaces there is a charge.

Another plus is that to get to the Park you have to walk through Potsdam which is a lovely place full of nice looking places to grab some food and beer. Well worth the trip!

A remarkable place to spend a whole day. It's a bit of a hike from Berlin by train but worth it. €19 gets you admission to the park and the palaces which are all awesome. The parks are beautiful, well manicured and provide plenty of shade on a hot day. It's a magical place to visit. After, spend the rest of the day exploiting the scenic town of Pottsdam. Well worth the visit.

Hands down my favorite park! Sanssouci contains beautifully maintained grounds with a wide variety of flowers and other greenery.

The different palaces are astounding and beautiful--definitely worth the time to walk around the entire park to see it all.

Absolutely wonderful place. It's perfect for a weekend picnic or a nice walk in nature. As its name suggests, this park seems to have the power to take my stress and worries away. I am always amazed every time I come here.

The park surrounding Sanssouci is quite breathtaking, the vast gardens and woodlands are a great place to escape to from the busy Berlin city life. Give yourself a few hours to enjoy them fully while you walk around the buildings contained within.


Unlike the Schloss which you have to pay to go into, entrance to the park is free. Bikes are prohibited in the park, although I did see quite a few people flouting this in the areas away from the shloss.

My first time in Potsdam and the Sanssouci Palace. WOW so lovely! 6 hours and a few hundred digital pics blew by so fast I could barely believe it. There are so many beautiful plants, buildings, statues gorgeous all around!
