This train station is not heated, if you are here in the winter come dressed. But the shops all have heat, so you can pop into a store to warm up if needed. But the tracks are not heated, so be prepared. All tracks are marked so look for your track. Once you find your track, check the board to see what car your reserved seat is located so that you can line up as closely to your car as possible. Line by quickly and make your way onto the train as quickly as possible to get your seat, get your luggage parked, because the train will go whether you are in your seat or not. Then Make sure that you have your ticket ready to show the ticket checkers on board the train. They don't check every leg, but be prepared to have either a paper ticket or the app on your phone ready to show the ticket checker. I highly Recommend to reserve your seat if you don't want to bother looking for a seat when you board. When you buy your tickets, they will tell you the demand rate. If the demand is low, you might be okay without reserving your seat. There are toilets on board if needed. Food is available to purchase in the food train. NOTE: Trains don't run on time, each leg was between 10 -15 minutes late. NOTE: by your tickets online or download the app to purchase ticket before you arrive to the station to save money. The day of tickets are double to triple the price if you book a few days ahead.

You could take the N14 or N17 bus to a location about a 5 min walk from Park Sansoucci, and another 12 minutes to Schloß Sansoucci. Headed in a different, I took tram 96 to bus 603 that takes you to a bus stop that's a 5 minute walk to the entrance of Schloß Cecilienhof; this route takes about 35 minutes. Inside the station, there are plentiful retail and food options, no lack of things to keep you occupied if you are waiting for your train to arrive. The layout of the station is very straightforward, from the main entrance you go up a set of escalators and there's a walkway straight that leads to all platforms.

A good number of attractions and restaurants are located within a 15 minute walk of the station as well, including Museum Barberini, Filmmuseum Potsdam, St. Nikolaikirche Potsdam.

The station itself beside trains station, it's also a super mall. You could find a lot different shops and restaurants here, even like Media Markt you also could find it here. It's really convenient. If you have to wait for your train, then you just hang around and do some shopping. In front of the station, there are tram stations and bus stations. There are so many different line here that allow you to travel with it all around the city Potsdam. If you already have the area C of Berlin ticket, the you don't have to buy other ticket here, but remember to check your ticket is that only one direction and couple times. If you got only one time, then you got to buy a new ticket when next time you take any public transportations again. I found the system quite fair though. From the railway station to the city center of Potsdam usually took around 4-5 mins by public transportations. If you come here to visit, that's actually save a lot time. So you could start at the city center, explore all the famous sightseeings here. Don't miss the beautiful Sanssouci castle and garden. And Potsdam itself is a very beautiful city as well. At the end, personally I like this station a lot, quite well-organized and clean. There are information stand and free map for people who needs help. And definitely it won't to be bored, even I have to wait here. Instead of just siting here, I could go to do some shopping or just check out some new books in the book shop. Fantastic!

The place was under heavy construction and from the looks of it where definitely modernizing it which is nice. The DB Bahn comes here if you want to quickly get into Germany since you are right on the border pretty much between the two countries here, and there is zero immigration so its like really taking train ride between two states.
