The capital of Brandenburg, Potsdam, is only 45 minutes away from Berlin by train. With your pals, you may simply organise a day excursion to this stunning city from your Student Accommodation Berlin.

Visit the Potsdam Filmmuseum and the FilmPark Babelsberg to get a glimpse of the German film industry. The Brandenburg Tor and the Dutch Quarter are also visible. Following that, you can enjoy a delectable lunch at Café Guam and Mansion Charlotte.
Prague
Prague is among the most beautiful and ancient cities in Europe. For those who have an interest in art, music, or architecture, the city is a true treasure. To be honest, a single-day visit is insufficient to appreciate the city’s old-world charm. Nonetheless, strolling through this charming, little city, which has most of its major sights within walking distance of one another, will allow you to fully appreciate the spirit of a century-old European city. Among the places you just must see are the Municipal House, which was once home to the Bohemian Kings and is now the site of operas and plays. The Power Tower, which is next to the Municipal House, is a historical landmark that was used by the Bohemian Kings as a gate and a storehouse for gun power. Other notable locations include St. Vitus Cathedral, a generous church and architectural wonder in and of itself, Dancing House, which offers an amazing architectural tour of the city that breaks from the otherwise classical buildings, and Petrin Hill, which offers a kaleidoscopic top view of the entire city.
Szczecin
Szczecin, a port city by the Baltic Sea and the capital of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship is one of Poland’s biggest cities. On your day trip from Berlin to Szczecin, you should include visits to the National Museum, Central Cemetery, and Ducal Castle among other popular tourist destinations. Szczecin is yet another seasoned European city with its appeal, including historical sites, a bright and tidy cityscape, and classical architecture.
Wannsee
Wannsee Island Beach offers some of the best day outings from Berlin if you’re seeking a change of scenery from the easy-to-get-to cities’ architecture and cityscape. For those who adore the sun and sand, the pristine beach is among the most popular tourist destinations. Being one of Europe’s biggest inland beaches, it is worth a visit. This is one of the best day trips from Berlin to take if you are coming in the summer. Another fantastic spot to chill out is Kladow, which is only a short distance from Wannsee. Among the sites to view at Wannsee are Glienicke Palace, Glienicke Bridge, and Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz.
Spreewald
Another quick getaway from the city, but not too far away: the stunning Spreewald forest invites you to spend some time in the middle of the natural world. This UNESCO-certified natural reserve offers well-marked paths for walking, cycling, and kayaking. Its proximity to several fishing communities and rural villages enhances the bucolic atmosphere of the day trip from Berlin. If you’re in Berlin and want to get away from it all, there’s nothing better than Spreewald. For a romantic day out, take your significant other on an enchanted boat trip through the Spreewald forest.
Saxon Switzerland National Park
Remaining concealed from the hordes of tourists, Saxon Switzerland National Park is still one of Germany’s best-kept secrets. The Bastei Bridge, which is made of limestone peaks, is the most notable sight in the otherwise impenetrable forest. Oh, the vistas that are available to you from the bridge! Stunningly beautiful.
