I visited the Sansouci Park on a morning trip from Berlin, unfortunately the Sansouci Palace itself was closed, (the curse of Monday closures hit for the first and definitely not the last time!) but the terrace leading up to it was pretty magical with fountains and neatly arranged bushes! So I headed for the Neues Palais which was pleasant, I am not really a big Palace/ Stately Home fan they are always seem very impressive but I just get a little bored with all the extravagance after a little while. So to combat that we decided to use the large slippers provided to skate around in the marble hall behind the attendants back, I was impressed to see that almost everyone else did the same when they got there!

The park itself was very nice and contained many Palace churches and a ‘fine example of European Chineseary’ it was well worth heading out there, the town of Potsdam was also a nice place to stroll around and get something to eat. It was very easy to get to and from central Berlin as it is connected by regular trains that take about 30 minutes to get there if I remember correctly.

The parks in Berlin I am not 100% sure I visited the one included in the WHC but I did visit a fair few parks whilst I was there and was very surprised to see just how green the city was, it has a forest in it and I really enjoyed walking around them to escape the heat and bustle of the day.
