You will visit the New Palace in the Sanssouci Park. The enormous New Palace is the imposing counterpart to the intimate Sanssouci Palace. Frederick II himself referred to the New Palace as a boast. He preferred the intimate Sanssouci and used the magnificent building as guest accommodation and a setting for lavish celebrations. Composed of three wings, this immense castle is impressive, but the red brick is merely painted for cost reasons. Inside, the spacious castle with its 200 rooms, royal apartments, and four galleries is a joyful display of Rococo style. You will notably visit the most eccentric room, the Grotto Hall, adorned with over 24,000 shells, minerals, fossils, and precious stones, as well as the Marble Gallery, with its marble cladding and gold ceiling paintings, a superb example of Prussian Rococo. Then, free time at the "Blauer Lichterglanz" Christmas market, located in Potsdam's historic center.
