Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Almost all the state's headline attractions are southwest of Berlin in
Potsdam
, a
town whose size is effectively doubled by surrounding landscaped gardens dotted
with royal piles and follies, which include Frederick the Great's famous Schloss
Sanssouci
. Meanwhile, just north beyond Berlin's fringes, the town of Oranienburg
is far less attractive, but equally absorbing as the site of former concentration camp
Sachsenhausen
. For something completely different, the
Tropical Islands complex
, to
the south of Berlin, offers a fun day out where you can enjoy the waters and beaches
of warmer climes.
