Just got back from Potsdam and it was a total vibe. Started at Sanssouci Palace — it’s like a real-life fairy tale, but with more fancy gardens and less magic. The wind had other plans for my hair, though. Then I checked out the Dutch Quarter, which felt like Amsterdam’s cuter cousin. Had some ridiculously strong coffee at a cozy café and just soaked it all in. Definitely a day well spent!
Posted: March 16, 2025Experienced: March, 2025Hi, went there by train! Had a student Ticket so ist was pretty cheap, would recommend the Deutschland Ticket (49 €/month of Public transport). It's a little annoying that you have to go to Berlin first to go to Potsdam. I went there and found cool artgroups and courses. People were open and I stayed at a friends place. I belive hotels and restaurants are quite pricey there. Keep in mind that there's a time in the night when it's not so easy to go back to Berlin as the busses and trains take breaks. Busses weren't as reliable-plan in extra time!

In my experience, Potsdam is a very safe city. I lived here all my life and never encountered any kind of crime. In most parts of the city, I feel really safe walking alone at night. Public transportation is available until the early morning hours and apart from a drunk person here and there, feels safe as well.
Posted: April 19, 2025It’s safe in comparison, but if course at night you have to be careful. But everyday harassment like catcalling is pretty low. I personally never experienced any dangerous situations in the city, but in the villages around it is more.
