The gardens are grand even with most statues covered for the winter. I am sure in the season one could walk for hours exploring the grounds. Highly recommend to see.

Lovely place to spend a few hours walking or looking at the nice gardens and flowers. The park is very big, very well kept, beautiful walk, quite, relaxing. Lovely statues inside, many different shapes. A place to visit in Potsdam, definitely.

I’ve reviewed Sanssouci Park as a treasure and the New Garden is certainly another. It has Cecilienhof Palace where the Potsdam Declaration was signed, Marble Palace, plus some beautiful park space and a a few other sights.

Park Babelsberg is one of the most beautiful parks I know and it is a must-visit when you're coming to Potsdam. I came here multiple times already and looking forward to come back again. Back in the days it was build as a summer residence for the first emperor of Germany and it's still well preserved, because many green-keepers keeping it clean day for day. There are old traditional buildings all over the park and you have big green meadows where you can relax, do sports or go for a walk with your dog. It's not as crowded as many other parks, especially like in Berlin where I come from and in the summertime a small lido opens at the Havel. I love the landscape with its hills and the lake and if you have a day off you should visit Park Babelsberg. It is easy to reach and just 10-15 minutes by feet from train station Babelsberg.

A must see when you happen to be in Berlin is a little side trip to Potsdam's old Dutch Quarter (or Hollandisches Viertel in German). Beautiful old brick architecture completely restored. It's a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon meandering through the old cobblestone streets and doing a little shopping in the unique shops, and stopping for a bite to eat in one of the many restaurants or Cafe's with outdoor seating.
