Brandenburg is located in eastern Germany and was named after a small town. Its capital, Potsdam, is only about 30 kilometres from Berlin.Castles and gardens are one of the highlights of Brandenburg! There are more than 30 castles and gardens in the region, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.In Potsdam you can admire three castles that could hardly be more different. The neo-Gothic Babelsberg Palace impresses with its picturesque parks on the banks of the Havel. Cecilienhof Palace, the last palace built by the Hohenzollern dynasty, was built over 100 years ago using traditional materials such as brick and wood. In stark contrast is the famous Baroque palace of Sanssouci. It was built by Frederick the Great (King of Prussia) for a "carefree" retreat. Even today, you can stroll through the famous Sanssouci Park with its unique terraces and leave everyday life behind for a moment.Another highlight of the region is its protected natural landscapes, which cover about one third of the area.
