How The Month Feels
November in Potsdam feels cool, damp, and fairly quiet on the ground. The city is still very workable for sightseeing, especially if you balance outdoor landmarks with indoor museums.
What To Lock In Early
It is worth reserving any must-see museum visits or tightly timed entries if your schedule is fixed. Otherwise, keep the rest of the trip flexible so you can work around rain and make the most of low crowd levels.

Dress in layers you can take on and off easily, because the city will usually feel different in the morning and after sunset.
Keep one museum or covered landmark in reserve each day so a sudden weather shift does not ruin the plan.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
