Berlin's best day trips are close: Potsdam, with Sanssouci Palace and its UNESCO-listed parks, and the Sachsenhausen memorial in Oranienburg are both under an hour away. The Spreewald's canals are about an hour by train, and Dresden makes a longer trip.

Before you book

Both Potsdam and Sachsenhausen are easy by public transport on a €5.00 ABC ticket, and entry to Sachsenhausen is free, so tours mainly add a guide. Sanssouci Palace uses fixed admission times, which some tours include. Many Potsdam palaces close on Mondays, and some open only from spring to autumn.
