Gardens & Palaces of Potsdam Bike Tour - with Roundtrip Train Transfers from Berlin

Potsdam is Berlin’s most popular day-trip destination and for good reason. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a biker’s paradise with beautiful open parks that hide Prussian palaces and Cold War relics at the end of quiet alleyways.

With cushy seats, thick tyres and adjustable handlebars, your bike lets you navigate the streets of Potsdam with ease and comfort. Take your bike with you on the train to Potsdam and begin your tour on arrival, accompanied by an expert guide well-versed on the rich history and modern cosmopolitan identity of Potsdam. 

Ride past Frederick the Great’s former summer palace of Sanssouci, held up by historians as the German answer to Versailles. Peddle through Sanssouci Park and gaze up at the New Palace, the last great baroque palace of Prussia. The Orangerie windmill and perfectly manicured gardens of Sanssouci provide an eyehole into the power and resplendent lifestyles of the Hohenzollern line of rulers. 

Pedal through Potsdam’s Brandenburg Gate and past the quaint red-brick houses in the old Dutch quarter. See the magnificent Marble Palace reflected in the still waters of Heiliger See. 

Enjoy an audio tour of the Tudor-style Cecilienhof Palace, where three giants of history — Stalin, Truman, and Churchill — hammered out over two weeks the terms for the resolution of World War II and the reconstruction of involved nations. Discuss the far-reaching impact of the Potsdam Agreement and its foreshadowing of Cold War tensions. 

Ride through the former no-man’s land between West Berlin and East Germany and over the Glienicke Bridge where Cold War spy exchanges routinely took place. 

Continue to the haunted landscape of division and into the lively heart of this University city, which stands in brilliant contrast to life as it was lived behind the Iron Curtain.
