The Best Thing About Berlin Is Potsdam
Kevin Alterfritz, historian and Potsdam aficionado, takes us beyond Berlin’s shadow to reveal why many believe Potsdam is the real highlight. We explore the city's hidden gems, from the Dutch Quarter to the Russian Colony and the palatial parks that outshine even Sanssouci. Kevin shares his personal journey with Potsdam, tips for experiencing its compact beauty, and why it's known as Germany's Beverly Hills.

A great way to get to know Potsdam is with the walking tours offered by the city tourism office, Potsdamer Service & Marketing GmbH.

Pfingstberg Belvedere Meierei brewery and beer garden (The brewery pub is open year-round) Marble Palace (This palace is open year-round on weekends) Swimming area at the Heiliger See Culture Area Schiffbauergasse Villa Colony Babelsberg (The city tourism office tours given here are only in German!)

Best podcast!
I love this podcast! I want to move to Berlin one day so this has helped me get some insight on anything you need to know about Berlin. Love to listen to anything this podcast shares!
🙌🙌🙌
This podcast is like having two friends help you navigate the bureaucratic challenges of moving to another country while simultaneously speaking to the psychological burdens of such a move. It may be Berlin specific but I think some of the themes will speak to many people moving to a new place.
