Tips & Advice

  • Dress warmly in layers, since an Advent market visit in December may involve spending time outside in the Dutch Quarter.
  • Wear comfortable shoes so you can walk around the market area and nearby quarter without tiring quickly.
  • Allow time to explore the market and its Dutch Quarter setting rather than planning it as a quick indoor stop.
  • Confirm event details before traveling, because Potsdam's calendar notes that event information and opening hours may change.
