A giant pain in the ass to leave. The 603 bus did not show up when we were leaving, so had to walk back into town after wasting time waiting for bus. They could have made a shuttle connecting the palaces. Uber was also taking minutes and still unable to find me a ride. I am not the type to get excited at site of historical events, so this was more an item to be crossed off itinerary. You can find better photos of the conference table online, probably, than the one you take yourself.

Blown away by the glorious beauty and the history of the place. Achingly gorgeous setting, sobering history. The gardens were in full bloom, an explosion of color that set off the Tudor-style mansion. Very surreal to imagine the events here that shaped the 20th century. Phenomenal woodwork - I could see the similarities with the James J. Hill mansion in St. Paul. Lots of fantastic books in every room. An absolute must-see.

Beautiful and historic site. Get tickets in advance on the official site and save money.

Worth the short bus ride to get to. It’s a unique palace/country house with a lot of history behind it. Many of the rooms on the inside are set up how they were during the Potsdam Conference which is interesting to see.

Site of the Potsdam conference between the leaders of UK, US, and the Soviet Union, this is a must visit. Suggest at least a couple of hours if you buy the tickets for the exhibit. Take a pair of headphones as the audio-guide that can be accessed from your phone is excellent. The palace by itself is beautiful and you can visit the grounds for free. Suggest renting a bicycle near the train station to visit Cicilienhof and the other sites around Potsdam.
