You can find Potsdam right beside Berlin and it's really an oasis of tranquility and history. Not only is the town home of lots and lots of lakes but you'll also find many different palaces from different times.

My Destination Challenge in Potsdam was the following:
🇩🇪 Which king built the new palace? 
🇩🇪 What is the highest palace? 
🇩🇪 Find 5 tourists that can pronounce the name of the palace correctly. (Loving this one 😊) 

I left 'Rose', my van, behind, jumped on a bicycle and started exploring Potsdam. Find out below how that went ;-)

First stop I made was at the magical #SchlossSanssouci in #Potsdam. This place is absolutely beautiful and is know for its 'French Touch' and beautiful gardens. 'Sans Souci' does mean 'No Worries' in French after all 😉 #GermanyChallenge with @VisitBrandenburg & @germanytourism #DestinationChallenges #VisitBrandenburg #GermanyTourism

The highest situated palace of #Potsdam: The #Belvedere. It's built like a Roman therme and it has some spectacular views from the top, all the way to #Berlin. During The separation of Germany the locals weren't allowed at the top since they could see the West from there... #BrandenburgChallenge #GermanyChallenge with @VisitBrandenburg @germanytourism #VisitBrandenburg #GermanyTourism
