Potsdam
Potsdam sits southwest of Berlin as a palace-and-park day rather than a long hotel base: Sanssouci Park, the Chinese House in summer season, and the Neues Palais end of the grounds. S-Bahn and regional trains from Berlin Hauptbahnhof make the hop practical; leave a full afternoon if you want interiors plus the park walk. Confirm SPSG seasonal hours before a winter trip; many garden pavilions close November through April.
