POTSDAM. Planned by Frederick the Great and supervised by a number of architects, this palace forms a half-circle at the peak of a terraced hill and is surrounded by 700 acres of parkland, complete with fountains and statuary. The interior of the palace features works by Caravaggio, a massive circular library, a music room, and elaborate ceiling murals. The property, once home to Voltaire and a performance venue for Bach, also boasts a Chinese Teahouse and exquisite Dutch and Italian gardens. S-BAHN: Potsdam Stadt
