A local would say...

Frederick the Great built a palace where he could be 'without care' — Sanssouci means just that in French, and the gardens live up to the promise.

Frederick the Great's magnificent pleasure park in Potsdam, often called the 'German Versailles', featuring terraced vineyards, fountains, and an array of palaces and pavilions. The exotic Chinese Teahouse is a highlight of the extensive grounds. The park blends seamlessly into the neighboring Park Charlottenhof.
