What it is
Potsdam is surrounded by water: the Havel opens out here into lakes. The palaces tour leaves from the Lange Brücke harbour and in an hour and a half passes the Babelsberg park and palace, goes under the Glienicke Bridge, the one with the spy exchanges, and enters Lake Jungfernsee.
How it works
The boat company Schifffahrt in Potsdam sells tickets at its ticket office at Lange Brücke 6, ten minutes' walk from the station, and on its website. It costs from €23 for adults. For families there is a €57.50 ticket (the parents and up to five children aged 14 or under), valid on weekdays and on the 10:00 departure at weekends.
Tips
- Do it on arrival or departure The harbour is between the station and the centre.
- Take the 10:00 departure if you go as a family At weekends, the family ticket is only valid at that time.
