Potsdam was the residence of the Prussian kings and German Kaisers until 1918. It is the site of the parks and palaces of Sanssouci, the largest World Heritage Site in Germany. The city is now the capital of the German federal state of Brandenburg and a home to three public colleges and a major film production studio.

Biosphere Potsdam

SUMMER FOR 365 DAYS A YEAR In the center of Potsdam is a place with a holiday-atmosphere 365 days a year – the Biosphere Potsdam. The jungle landscape of the Biosphere with over 20.000 beautiful plants, many exotic animals and an hourly thunderstorm with thunder and lightning takes you to a world far away. Your journey begins at the waterfall and continues on intertwined paths to the butterfly house and to the high-trail up in the treetops.

My husband and I super love all things nature related so I was really interested when I came across the reviews for the Biosphere on TripAdvisor and we thought it was worth a little train journey to Potsdam. It was a really grim and rainy day so the perfect weather to be doing something inside, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time. You wander round the Biosphere, encountering informative interactive displays, different animals and an aquarium section- it's well laid out and definitely enough to keep you occupied for a few hours. Our favourites were the little tamarin monkeys, super cute and engaging! We also stopped for some lunch at the end of the trail in the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, normally it's a bit pants in these kind of attraction restaurants, but my husband's flammkuchen and my currywurst were really tasty and resonably priced.

City Rad Rebhan

Reviewed By IlexaT

We rented two bikes for 11€ apiece here and followed the owner’s suggested route for an absolutely perfect, very hot mid-summer afternoon, mostly outdoors, in this lovely city: through Sanssouci park where we stopped for ice cream bars (including nice vegan one), on by the Russian colony to the Cecilienhof where we went through the exhibition documenting the Potsdam Conference. Then along lakes to a spot where did as the Germans do and enjoyed a cool skinny dip since we hadn’t brought bathing suits with us. Then over the Glieneke Bridge (of spies) for a drink at a small beer garden before returning along the Havel River through the Babelsberg Park to give back the bikes.
