Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg and borders Berlin directly across the Glienicke Bridge, the Cold War exchange point for spies. The Palaces and Parks of Potsdam are a UNESCO World Heritage site that stretches from Sanssouci and the Neues Palais to Cecilienhof, where the 1945 Potsdam Conference was held; the restored city palace now houses the state parliament and the Dutch Quarter lies just behind it. Babelsberg is home to the oldest large-scale film studio in the world, still in production, and to the Filmpark theme park. Universität Potsdam teaches around 20,000 students across three campuses at the Neues Palais, Golm and Griebnitzsee, the last shared with the Hasso Plattner Institute; the Golm science park adds Max Planck and Fraunhofer institutes, and Filmuniversität Babelsberg and Fachhochschule Potsdam round out the higher-education scene. Berlin's centre is about 35 km away and BER airport around 45 km.
