Volkspark Glienicke

Fairytale park

Königstraße
Berlin, Berlin 14109
+49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information)

All things English (except the food) have always been very fashionable in Germany. Testimony to this is the 19th century Glienicke Park near Potsdam. Modelled on an English garden with small romantic bridges, follies, long lawns and spectacular views over the river Havel, this is a place people come to forget the strains and stress of life in the big city. The bells of a distant carillon chime at noon. A series of pavilions, fairytale buildings and a real-life castle designed by Schinkel round off Glienicke Park's charms.
