🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Potsdam Hauptbahnhof → Babelsberg Park / S Babelsberg
💡 From the hotel, walk 5 mins to S Babelsberg station. Tram 94 stops right there – it’s faster than the bus for the film studios.
S Babelsberg → Potsdam Sanssouci Park
💡 This bus runs along the park’s edge – hop off at Schloss Sanssouci stop for the shortest walk to the palace entrance.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) → Potsdam Hauptbahnhof
💡 Buy a single ticket for Berlin ABC zones – covers your journey and local onward travel. Validate it before boarding.

💡 Pre-book with Taxi Potsdam or use the MyTaxi app for a fixed fare. Avoid unofficial drivers at the airport rank.
Potsdam Hauptbahnhof → greet Hotel Potsdam am Park Sanssouci (stop: Am Kirchsteigfeld)

Potsdam Hauptbahnhof (tram stop: Hauptbahnhof / Lange Brücke) → greet Hotel (nearest stop: Max-Dortu-Platz, then 10-min walk)
💡 Tram 91 is scenic — it passes the Dutch Quarter and the Alter Markt. But the walk from Max-Dortu-Platz is uphill and not well signposted; better to take bus 605 unless you enjoy a short leg-stretch.
