How do we get there from Berlin?

The S7 runs from central Berlin to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. From there the Dutch Quarter is about a 15-minute walk.

What do kids do there?

They watch street bands and dancers, and browse the flower and craft stalls. The website lists no rides or workshops, so it suits kids who are happy to wander.

How busy does it get?

It is the second most popular folk festival in Brandenburg, so expect crowds in the narrow lanes. Arriving at opening leaves more room for strollers.

It is outdoors in April, so pack rain jackets and layers. The organizer lists no rain plan, so check the website the week before.

About

Potsdam's Dutch Quarter turns into a little Amsterdam for a spring weekend. Street bands march past brick houses and tulip beds, while Dutch craftspeople and flower sellers fill the lanes in traditional dress. It is a loose wander more than a program, best for kids who like music, crowds and watching things being made by hand.
