Weihnachtliches Potsdam

Highlights of Advent

Orangeries, pelmeni, Sinterklaas – it's the European spirit that shapes Potsdam and its traditions. Over time, people from all over Europe came to the Hohenzollern residence city, bringing with them its architecture and culture. Especially during Advent, these European influences are palpable throughout the city. Then, Bohemian handicrafts meet Finnish mulled wine, and Dutch Sinterklaas meets Polish Christmas lights.
