    Absolutely beautiful park, leafy and well-manicured. On a bright November day the autumn colours were stunning. Be aware that the park and palace buildings are currently undergoing major restoration work but that didn't spoil our visit as we hadn't gone with particular plans about what we wanted to see, and I'm sure I will be even more wowed when I visit in the future to see the buildings and gardens restored to their full splendour. It's free to wander through the grounds and admire the building exteriors and views. We arrived into Park Sanssouci station on the train from Berlin and from there it was roughly a five minute walk to the park entrance on the west side (we were also passed by a shuttle bus connecting the train station with the park once we'd already started walking). Large signs with maps on them are usefully placed near the entrances and copies are available to buy too. Once we realised the scale of the park we decided to have a nosey around the Neues Palais and the buildings opposite, then stroll along the long path eastwards, towards Schloss Sanssouci and then out into the town of Potsdam (we travelled back on the train towards Berlin from Potsdam Hauptbahnhof). If you wanted to thoroughly explore all of the buildings it would easily take a day. It's an easy and worthwhile trip to make from Berlin, less than an hour on the train, and if you have an ABC travel ticket your journey is included.

    What a wonderful park! This is one of my favorite park all time. Even I don't live in Potsdam, I still visit this park time to time, for a nice walk and some fresh air. It doesn't took that much time to travel Berlin to here. And it totally worth it. Sanssouci Park is a large park surrounding Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, it's really big, if you want to walk through the whole park, that could take hours. Inside the park, there are couple famous and beautiful places. Walk through the terracing of the vineyard, the completion of the palace, all the cool structures around. Beautiful garden and giant trees around the path, it surly made it outstanding. Most of people come here for the Sanssouci palace, it's really a beautiful piece. Beside that, Neues Palais, Schloss Charlottenhof and Potsdam university are also here, personal I like the Lustgarten area a lot. Of course, the best time to visit the park, it's summer. Because of the plants. For me, I like it in every seasons. It is just like listening to classical music, it got it own beauty every season. The park isn't far from the Potsdam main railway station. You can either take the bus, which took about 10 mins to get here. Or go on foot, it took around 15-20 mins. If you are visiting this city, there are lot to see on the way. Probably go with the walk it better. This is surely a sight you can't miss in Potsdam. For locals, This is an amazing place just hang around with family or friends, jogging, chat with friends and recharge yourself.

    This was so beautiful. Gorgeous. The tour through the palace was wonderful, although you had to pay an extra $20 to take photos. Which, I think you're an idiot if you pay. Needless to say we got some good photos :) Beautiful gardens. You need a full day to see everything, and try not to go when it is too hot. We had beer at a small food/espresso cart in the park. I think not many people knew about it, but was next to a creek with reclining chairs to a view only you can dream about!

    Breakfast of champions.  Beer.

    A remarkable place to spend a whole day. It's a bit of a hike from Berlin by train but worth it. €19 gets you admission to the park and the palaces which are all awesome. The parks are beautiful, well manicured and provide plenty of shade on a hot day. It's a magical place to visit. After, spend the rest of the day exploiting the scenic town of Pottsdam. Well worth the visit.

    The biggest crowds are around Sanssouci Palace itself but I felt that the Neues Palace was just as good.

    A bit off the beaten path, this structure is an UNESCO world heritage site, originally built by…read morePrussian monarch Friedrich Wilhelm IV in the mid 19th century as a viewing platform of the surrounding area. The architecture has Roman and Greek influences and is reminiscent of an ancient Roman temple, with the immediate grounds laid out in an English garden format. During WWII the building fell into disrepair and the subsequently was renovated starting the mid-1990s to mid 2000. It is now open to the public via ticketed self-tour, timed tours (seasonal), and special events for both community and private functions. When I went on a Saturday morning the grounds were fairly empty, maybe a dozen or so other visitors. You could spend 20-30 min or more here. Tickets were €8 for a regular adult price, €6 if I recall correctly, including the discount if you have separately booked the Berlin Welcomecard or the Sansoucci+ package though the ticket is not included in that package. Bathrooms are available though parking is not, it's recommended to take public transportation and then walk. This can be anywhere from a 15-30 minute walk depending on where you're coming from. I came from the direction of Schloß Cecilienhof and that was about 25 minutes with about 10-15 minutes of uphill. Coming from the north or west the walk is shorter from the main road though still takes you along a path in the park/woods.

    From the owner: Belvedere auf dem Pfingstberg - Potsdams schönste Aussicht…read more Der Pfingstberg im Norden Potsdams ist mit 76 Metern die höchste Erhebung der Stadt. Hier befindet sich das Pfingstbergensemble mit Potsdams schönster Aussicht, welches seit 1999 Teil der UNESCO-Welterbestätte Schlösser und Parks von Potsdam und Berlin ist. Neben dem bis 1863 nach Plänen König Friedrich Wilhelms IV. erbauten Aussichtsschloss Belvedere und dem 1800 nach Plänen Schinkels errichteten Pomonatempel ist auch die Parkanlage Peter Joseph Lennés dort zu finden. Nach dem II. Weltkrieg wegen der Nähe zur KGB-Zentrale gesperrt und verfallen, wurde das Ensemble von 1992 bis 2005 restauriert. Heute können Besucher dort viel "Kultur in der Natur" erleben, neben einer neuen zweisprachigen Ausstellung zur Geschichte, Hörführungen für Kinder und Erwachsene und Kunstausstellungen im Pomonatempel zum Beispiel auch samstags und sonntags (Mai-September) um 15 Uhr Kleinkunst. Der Neue Garten, das Schloss Cecilienhof und die russische Kolonie Alexandrowka sind nahe. Öffnungszeiten: April-Oktober: täglich, 10 bis 18 Uhr März, November: samstags und sonntags, 10 bis 16 Uhr Anfahrt: Tram 92 oder 96 bis Haltestelle "Puschkinallee" oder "Am Schragen" oder Bus 638 bis Haltestelle "Potsdam, Am Pfingstberg" bzw. Bus 603 bis "Höhenstraße" Parkplätze: am Volkspark Potsdam (ehemaliger BUGA-Park), erreichbar von der Nedlitzer Straße über Straße Esplanade und am Schloss Cecilienhof (erreichbar über Straße Am Neuen Garten)
