Hello, I've lived in Potsdam for over a quarter of a century and love the many gardens, palaces, and watery surroundings. Sanssouci Park has its charms in every season. The king himself had his horticultural ideas realized here. And he wanted to share his experiences. It's exciting to learn more.

Tour description

“...Come to me in Sanssouci!” – Hidden messages from a king

Welcome to Sanssouci – the dream kingdom of Frederick the Great!
Here, between serene elegance and profound symbolism, the soul of a king who understood the world as a stage is revealed.
Join us for a walk through this garden of thoughts – a place where beauty and spirit still breathe in harmony today.

Make way for a great man – Frederick the Great!

What a splendor of gold, marble, and garden images in light and shadow! Admired annually by hundreds of thousands from all over the world. Yet only a few understand the king's messages.

It is as if we could be at one of his famous round tables, where people laughed, joked and philosophized about love, death, power and transience, the beauty of being, grief and courage, betrayal and honor.

Everything in this park was deliberately orchestrated by the king and can still be "read" even after more than two, almost three centuries. We accept his invitation.
