I went thru some of the links in FT for this, but more info is appreciated on side trips possible on a 3 day trip to berlin..
Ok, plan to spend the Sunday in Potsdam. Easy 20 minutes train ride from Hauptbahnhof or Zoo. You need to see Sanssouci Castle, Neues Palais Castle, Pfingstberg, the historic town centre, the Dutch Quarter, the Russian (historic, not red army) Quarter, Nikolaikirche, Orangerie, Krongut Bornstaedt (have lunch there), Neuer Garten. You will hardly find so much of German 17th to 19th century history in on place.
