(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Berlin
Embark on an enriching day trip from Berlin to the historic cities of Potsdam and Leipzig, promising a journey filled with cultural discoveries and architectural marvels. Our adventure begins with personalized pick-up service from your desired location in Berlin, ensuring a seamless and comfortable start to your exploration. As we depart from Berlin, you can relax and enjoy the scenic drive through the picturesque countryside of Brandenburg, soaking in the tranquil landscapes along the way. Our experienced English-speaking driver will provide insights and recommendations, setting the stage for an unforgettable day of discovery. Our first stop takes us to Potsdam, home to the magnificent Sanssouci Palace and Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the opulent palace grounds, stroll through the lush gardens, and marvel at the grandeur of Frederick the Great's summer residence.
Our next destination brings us to Sanssouci Palace, the summer residence of Frederick the Great, built between 1745 and 1747. This architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Prussian monarchy. Despite its modest one-story height (with only the secondary wings featuring upper floors), Sanssouci Palace captivates visitors with its elegant design and picturesque setting atop a terraced vineyard. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a world of luxury and refinement. The interior of Sanssouci Palace boasts intricately carved marble and lavish gilding, creating an atmosphere of comfort and conviviality fit for royalty. As you explore the palace's richly adorned rooms and halls, you'll be transported back in time to an era of splendor and extravagance, gaining insight into the life and tastes of Frederick the Great.
St. Thomas Church
Our final stop brings us to the historic Church of St. Thomas, a revered landmark with a rich history spanning over 800 years. This iconic church holds a special place in the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide, as it was here that Johann Sebastian Bach served as cantor from 1723 to 1750, leaving an indelible mark on Leipzig's cultural legacy. The Church of St. Thomas is not only renowned for its musical heritage but also for its poignant connection to Bach's final resting place. Originally buried in an unmarked grave in St. John's Church, Bach's remains were later transferred to St. Thomas Church around 1800. Today, visitors can pay homage to the legendary composer at the altar of St. Thomas, adorned daily with fresh flowers as a tribute to his enduring influence.
