The state capital Potsdam assumes an outstanding position in the rich cultural landscape of the State of Brandenburg. Potsdam, the city of Prussian palaces and gardens, offers not only its historical heritage, a source of pride known well beyond our state - but also a richly diverse selection of modern culture and art.
In the historic city centre the Hans Otto Theatre, the concert hall 'Nikolaisaal', the House of Brandenburg-Prussian History and the Film Museum provide opportunities to enjoy classical as well as modern culture.
In addition, there are many possibilities to discover Potsdam by boat, on the river Havel and on surrounding lakes.
