Travelling in Potsdam with a Hire Car

Built around a network of lakes and surrounded by ancient forests, it's easy to see why Potsdam was such a popular getaway destination for so many centuries. Often compared to Versailles in France, the city features many amazing examples of historical architecture and is the perfect area for touring in a hire car.

The most famous attraction in Potsdam is without a doubt Sanssouci, located just a short drive north west of the city centre with your car hire. Built as a summer palace in the 18th century for Friederich the Great, it is here he came to relax and unwind, away from his duties in Berlin. Surrounded by massive gardens featuring statues and fountains, an entire day can be spent exploring the property.

To visit another famous site in the area, jump in your hire car and head east of Potsdam to Babelsberg, just a short distance away. Often overlooked for the better known Sanssouci, the large gothic castle at Babelsberg is also a spectacular example of a wealthy residence, and usually lacks the big crowds that can be expected at Sanssouci. Not far from the castle, you can also visit Filmpark Babelsberg, where many of Germany's biggest films have been made. The studios offer behind the scenes tours and are used to this day in the production of major films.

Once you have seen the sights around Potsdam that interest you, its time to relax and enjoy the outdoors as the locals and visitors alike have done for many centuries. You can go boating on the many lakes and perhaps visit some of the islands in the area, or simply drive your car hire through the scenic forests around in the area, all within a very short distance, yet unchanged for thousands of years.
