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.

Is Sachsenhausen free?
Yes. Entry to the memorial and its museums is free; tours charge for guiding and transport.
Can I visit Potsdam without a tour?
Yes. Regional trains and the S7 reach Potsdam in 25 to 40 minutes on an ABC ticket.
