Potsdam Travel Forum

Hi! I am probably visiting Postday with a one day trip from Berlin on Aug 31. I think the easiest way is to take the train to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. Does the same train stop also in Potsdam Sanssouci Bahnhof? Otherwise, is there any public transportation from Potsdam Hauptbahnhof to the biggest attractions?

Hi, is there somebody have suggestion to how to go from Postdam to Schoenefeld airport with public transportation? Consider I've got the check-in at 5.30am. I thought to rent a car for 1 day, but maybe it could be cheaper a taxi? Anybody know how much could be a taxi ride?
Thanks to all!

Hi,
We will be there for one day only. Any suggestions on what to do? Also, we will have our own car...how is the public parking?
Thanks!

Anyone know the opening hour and prices for the public swimming pool?
I think there's one next to the Central Station (Potsdam Hbf), is it right?

Danke,

Hiya!

What's the quickest way to get to Potsdam from the Belin Tegel Airport? Is it possible to get there without having to pass through Berlin?

Appreciate your tips!

Hey VT Forums, Long time no see!

Well, here's my newest travel conundrum; I'll be visiting Potsdam and Berlin next weekend (mostly Potsdam, as thats where my friend/SO/whatever we are... is living at the moment) and i have a few questions:

I am flying into Schönfeld airport, arriving at around 16:15...
1) how strict are Schengen area customs and how long will it take me to get to the bus stop?
2) can anyone comment on Easyjet's punctuality? and their weight limit? (I've had lots of luck with Ryanair... even if i was over, they would still send my bag through)

various VBB Info
3)will it be easier for me to get to Potsdam by train and then bus or take the bus directly?
4) will an Italian University student qualify for the student discount (7day ticket) or price reduction on the daily ticket? I need the Potsdam ABC fare, and am trying to see which option will end up being cheaper. Also, this one ticket (Potsdam ABC) will be good for getting around Potsdam AND Berlin, correct?

5) Gerrem wrote about Potsdam Castle Night in the Sansousci gardens; anyone know when this event occurs?
(link http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Germany/Land_Brandenburg/Potsdam-27762/Nightlife-Potsdam-BR-1.html )

5) any packing tips (besides gloves, scarves, and a really warm coat as said by my host)?

6) heard about boat rides on the lakes; can anyone give me any more information on those (or link me to where i could get more information)?

Danke Schoen!
