Dear Visitors to Potsdam,

Our city is known worldwide for its palaces, gardens and many other unique features. But it would take a very long time to try to see all the sights on foot.

Our Tip for You:

Use our buses and trains to familarize yourself with the city’s most beautiful locations just by looking out the window. Scheduled departures leave every 20 minutes or less. With Potsdam explorers in mind, we have created five special lines for tourists, along which the world-renowned palaces, gardens, parks and sights can be reached quickly. All these lines have well-known names, so you will immediately know where the journey is headed.

We have created five lines in Potsdam’s local public transportation system, especially for visitors. On these routes, you can quickly and easily reach Potsdam’s world-renowned palaces, gardens, parks and special attractions.

All lines go through the Hauptbahnhof Potsdam (Central Station), scheduled at twenty-minute intervals or less during the day.

Here, you’ll find the right route in the network to take you to your destination. An overview of the individual lines is available below.
