What it is
Sanssouci is the summer palace that Frederick the Great had built at the top of a hill in Potsdam, above six curved terraces covered in vines. It is small, of a single storey, and inside it is pure rococo. Below begins the great park that bears its name.

From April to October it is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:30; in November and December, from 10:00 to 16:30. On Mondays it is closed.
