Potsdam, on the southeastern edge of Berlin, has been called Germany's Veres. Home to Prussian Kings and German Kaisers for over 250 years, it is littered with royal parks, palaces and follies. Its landscape is considered so important that in the 1990's huge areas of the city were awarded World Heritage Site status by the United Nations.
If you want to see what all the fuss is about without having to leave the comfort of your computer, now you can. Fly yourself over the town, zoom in on points of interest, and click for more information. Enjoy.
