Potsdam

The 14th Europeen Fat Soluble Vitamin Meeting 2009 will take place at the Kongresshotel am Templiner See, a place near the university and close to the palaces and gardens of Sanssouci, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The conference will be held in the city of Potsdam, which is the capital of the federal state of Brandenburg and also a very attractive tourist destination. Potsdam is surrounded by the Havel river, numerous picturesque lakes and has many castles and parks well worth a visit. The most well known castle is Schloss Sanssouci, chosen by Frederick II of Prussia as his summer residence. The historical centre of Potsdam with its Dutch Quarter, many village coffee bars, restaurants and shopping facilities is a definite must see on your list. Other attractions include the Movie Themepark Babelsberg (Filmpark Babelsberg), the Biosphere Potsdam and the Bornstedt Crown Estate. The proximity to Berlin provides an excellent opportunity to discover both a historical and modern-day capital.
