- See the stunning grounds of Sanssouci Palace, favourite residence of Frederick the Great, which is set in beautiful parkland
- Visit Cecilienhof, the manorial residence of Germany's last Crown Prince, which was used to host the Potsdam Conference in 1945
- Stroll through the KGB's forbidden city, the old HQ of the the Soviets counterintelligence during the Cold War
It's easy to see why the palaces and parks of Potsdam were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990. The city is incredibly picturesque with its many palaces, lakes, manicured gardens, statues and water fountains dotted over hundreds of green acres.
Stroll around the Dutch Quarter, an ensemble of red-brick buildings that is unique in Europe. The infamous Soldier King, Frederick William I – renowned for the giant men he collected for his showcase military regiments – built the houses in the mid-18th century to accommodate Potsdam's community of Dutch artisans.
After crossing the Bridge of Spies, visit Cecilienhof, a palace that was originally built as a residence for Germany's last crown prince but came to be used to host the Potsdam Conference in 1945. Your guide will describe the discussions that took place between Churchill (and later Attlee), Truman, and Stalin, which were to seal the fate of Cold War Europe for the next half century.

Oranienburg
Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial
Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg was a German Nazi concentration camp, used from 1936 until the defeat of Nazi Germany in May 1945. It's located in Oranienburg, Germany and held political prisoners who endured atrocious acts of torture during World War II. Nowadays visitors can see what life was like for the prisoners via witness accounts and exhibitions, and by taking a guided tour.
The Schönbrunn Orangery belongs to the Schönbrunn Palace, the impressive former summer residence of the Habsburgs, full of glass windows, huge archways, and white stone. It was built in the 18th century on the orders of Francis I to host Imperial parties, and today hosts elegant concerts.
At 189 meters long and 10 meters wide, it's the largest orangery after Versailles. Incidentally, the orangeries of Versailles and Schönbrunn are the only ones still in operation.
