Heard much about the Sanssouci Palace and was looking forward to my visit. Let’s start with the positives. The building and grounds are magnificent, especially (as we are musicians) seeing Frederick…Full review by scififairy

Even in the winter you'll appreciate the views, gardens and architecture of the Sanssouci Palace. The self-guided audio tour was one of the most detailed and engaging of our trip. We also walked ove…Full review by J9G_NC

The 603 bus taked you to Cecilienhof durest, unfortunately it's a 20 minute walk to get the bus from Sanssouci. It's a 5 minute walk to bus 614 then change to the 603, I believe you can also switch to a tram after the 614. You can take a bus or tram to get to the Bridge of Spies, only problem is you'll have to walk up to 15 minutes to catch the tram or bus.
Is there a way to avoid climbing the stairs at Sanssouci palace, we have knee problems, thank you

There are certainly a number of steps if travelling around the garden. However, whilst there is a slope up from the road as you enter close to the windmill, once you are there the rooms are on the level. Make sure you access via that entrance. My wife is about to go through a hip replacement in the next month and we visited the Palace only two months ago. Enjoy your visit.
Visiting Potsdam Sunday in mid-May, intending to buy tickets online for the Palace, to get the timed entrance we want. Also want to visit the New Palace, but it appears you have to be there to get a time to enter that day--no reservations in advance. Is that true, and if so, are the queues long for the New Palace?

In my experience if you have purchased advance admission tickets you get to go in within that day but yes it depends on how you have booked a reservation which I believe the time …
In my experience if you have purchased advance admission tickets you get to go in within that day but yes it depends on how you have booked a reservation which I believe the time slot can be included in the booking. There are busloads of tourists arriving and groups in batches are made to enter the castle like every 15-30 minutes interval (I'm not so sure of the spacing) but we waited more or less about 20 minutes before it was our turn (and yet there were still many groups behind us). If your group is early then you may just be one of the first in line but if you're one of the later time groups then you may have to wait a little longer if the line has accumulated. Its best if your group arrive on the scheduled entry time slot because if you're late you will be placed at the back of the queue.
