Brandenburg Travel Guide

Brandenburg, is both a historical region and a modern federal-state in Germany.

It is also the heart of historic Prussia and thus borders on the federal capital of Berlin. It shares borders with the German federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Lower Saxony. To the east lies the neighboring country of Poland.

Brandenburg is more or less the countryside around the Berlin metropolitan area. Within less than an hour, you can get out of the huge city and find yourself in the middle of a forest or a pretty village, on the banks of a lovely lake or in front of a medieval church or castle. The major attraction of Brandenburg is the city of Potsdam with its UNESCO world heritage label. However, besides Potsdam, there are plenty of other attractions that make Brandenburg worth the trip. The gray reminders of 40 years of Communist rule are gone, and now Brandenburg offers lots to discover to the visitor.
