Potsdam's
Hauptbahnhof
, which is just a short walk across Lange Brucke from the town centre, is linked to Berlin's Bahnhof Zoo and Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse by S-Bahn #7 and mainline trains. Alternatively, bus #116 from S-Bahnhof Wannsee will deposit you on the Potsdam side of the Glienicker Brucke, from where tram #93 runs to the central Platz der Einheit. A more atmospheric approach is provided by the cruise
boats
from Wannsee.
Just south of the Platz der Einheit, at Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 5, is the
tourist office
(April-Oct Mon-Fri 9am-8pm, Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 9am-4pm; Nov-March Mon-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat & Sun 10am-2pm; tel 03 31/27 55 80, fax 2 75 58 99,
www.potsdam.de
). There's also a smaller office in the Hauptbahnhof (daily 9am-8pm; tel 03 31/2 70 91 50). Another useful source of
information
is Sanssouci's
visitor centre
, at the northern edge of the park at An der Historischen Muhle (daily: April-Oct 8.30am-5pm; Nov-March 9am-4pm; tel 03 31/9 69 42 00, fax 9 69 41 07,
