In 2023, PMSG Potsdam Marketing und Service GmbH will once again focus on barrier-free offerings in Potsdam. Whether a visit to one of the numerous castles and museums, a boat trip on the Havel River or an overnight stay in a comfortable room, you can freely experience Potsdam according to the motto "sans souci", without worries.
Recommendations for guests
Get to know the animal world interactively in the Natural History Museum, immerse yourself in the greenery of the city in the Volkspark, or enjoy the feeling of a tropical paradise in the Biosphäre – the city on the Havel offers a wealth of barrier-free activities for families. Culture lovers can also experience the UNESCO World Heritage city individually, for example on an exhibition visit to the Museum Barberini, on history trails in Cecilienhof Country House or even in the traditional sauna of the sports and leisure complex "blu - Das Sport- und Freizeitbad". European-inspired architecture, a well-designed park landscape and an eventful history merge to this day in Brandenburg's state capital.
