18: Cafe Belgique
http://cafe-belgique.nl/
One of the smallest bars in Amsterdam, Belgique still finds space for eight Belgian draught beers and more than 30 bottled varieties. Situated among tacky tourist traps in an alleyway just off Dam Square, Belgique has been able to preserve a sense of charm and credibility, partly through its reputation as one of the main hangouts for street artists and DJs in Amsterdam. While the beer selection consists of heady Belgian offerings, the interior is Dutch 17th century meets graffiti art. Old stone walls and oak panels have been spray painted by the London Police. Despite the smoking ban, the staff turn a blind eye if you light up.
• Gravenstraat 2, +31 20 625 1974, cafe-belgique.nl. Open Sun-Thurs 2pm-1am, Fri, Sat 2pm-3am

19: cafe pollux
http://cafepollux.com/
A late-night dive bar with two of the most charismatic publicans you'll ever meet. The ever-smiling Frits single-handedly runs the bar while his wife Tanja sits on the same bar stool day and night, chain-smoking, smiling at customers and ordering neat vodkas. Eerily, the couple have wax statues of themselves doing exactly the same thing, resulting in a few highly inebriated customers attempting to get their change back from inanimate sculptures. The neon-lit 50s style jukebox is packed with classic rock and soul, making for some interesting moves on the stripper's pole – a remnant from the bar's former life as a go-go bar. Revellers have been known to stay well into the early morning – it depends what mood Frits is in and whether Tanja has drained the vodka supplies.
• Prins Hendrikkade 121, +31 20 624 9521, cafepollux.com. Open Tues-Thurs, Sun noon-3am, Fri, Sat noon-4am, food served noon-8pm

20: 't smalle
Time stands still within this building, which was originally built as a Hoppe distillery in 1780. Old oak casks remain stacked above the bar area, and vintage brass furnishings, gleaming chandeliers, dripping candles and the smack of fermented alcohol make it feel like a Dutch traders' haunt from yesteryear. While they may not be from the 18th century, bearded Dutch locals still frequent the bar to gossip about the latest happenings in the neighbourhood. The building is also located on one of the prettiest canals in Amsterdam, meaning there tends to be a bit of a scrap for the waterside seats come summer. It's best to get there early, or soak up the atmosphere inside.

23: Cafe Brecht
This Berlin-style living room cafe attracts students and literary types who discuss the merits of Brechtian drama while flicking through the plays that are scattered around. Inspired by Berlin's alternative bar scene, Sandra Houtman and her son decided to offer up their own piece of east German charm in the heart of Amsterdam. Berliner Pilsner, fritz-kola and a variety of German beers are on tap, and a selection of bratwurst is available. The atmosphere is casual and stylish; vintage furniture, and knitting needles, wool and threads on hand for crafty types. There's a literary open mic session on the last Sunday of each month, but you might want to brush up on your German.

24: Vesperbar
In a quiet corner just off bustling Haarlemmerstraat, this elegant cocktail bar feels like stepping into a happy hour scene from Mad Men. Expats and locals from the nearby advertising agencies enjoy their post-work tipple while discussing strategies and bashing away on smartphones. The decor is kitsch and sophisticated, with James Bond memorabilia sandwiched between fine liqueurs and pop art prints. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the bar offers "high tea cocktails"; a quirky alcoholic twist on traditional high tea. Cakes from neighbouring bakeries are served with teapots of cocktails. In a city not renowned for good cocktail bars, Vesper has raised the standards.

The Knorrpromenade is located in Berlin's district of Friedrichshain and was built in 1911. Many people are excited about their unusual and beautiful architecture. It is mentioned in many guidebooks as a worthwhile goal, and every day visitors and tourists walk through it to admire the stately facades and the beautiful gardens. The two gates at the southern end of the street are unique. At the beginning of the 20th Century they were still closed at night to protect the street's upper-class residents from the "rabble" of surrounding workers' tenements. Today, unfortunately, they fall apart. Although there is a citizens initiative to maintain these gates, still is not done much in terms of restoration.
This small and (even for children) very easy cache wants to lead your attention to the beauty of the Knorrpromenade. And it also wishes that these unique gates won't fall apart completely.
Because of the many Muggles i raised the D-Number to 1,5.

Wenngleich Ihr Euch dort in einer grünen Eckoase befindet, wird trotz des Cache-Titels kein Naturphänomen gesucht, sondern eine Bronzeskulptur, die so beliebt ist, dass sie schon von mitfühlenden Anwohnern im Winter mit selbstgehäkelten Klamotten bekleidet und 1991 sogar gestohlen wurde.

Porto Carrara - All pasta's and pizza's E5
The Moroccan owner always welcomes you with a smile and handshake. He's been there for over 25 years, I believe, and he's seen restaurants come and go. The quality of his pizza's and pasta's is surprisingly good, especially considering the meal price of E5,- Without this restaurant, I probably would not have survived my student days in Amsterdam! Porto Carrara, Lange Leidsedwarsstraat 138, Leidseplein, Amsterdam. All pasta/pizza E5.

The infamous Thai Snackbar. Crammed into a small bar with an open steamy and fire-y kitchen... Great Thai food, possibly the best in town. Fast service without a smile or goodbye. Still, you’ll be smiling when leaving this place. The Bird, Zeedijk 77, China Town, Amsterdam. Main course as of E10
Please note - 'Restaurant The Bird' is on opposite the snackbar and is a real restaurant - just in case you prefer being served with a smile by a Thai lady. Needless to say, prices in the restaurant are considerably higher than in the snackbar.

57: Cecilienhof
The Cecilienhof Palace was the scene of the Potsdam Conference from 17 July, to 2 August 1945, at which the victorious Allied leaders (Harry S. Truman; Winston Churchill and his successor, Clement Attlee; and Joseph Stalin) met to decide the future of Germany and postwar Europe in general. The conference ended with the Potsdam Agreement and the Potsdam Declaration.

58: Garrison Church
At the start of the Third Reich in 1933 there was a ceremonial handshake between President Paul von Hindenburg and the new Chancellor Adolf Hitler on 21 March 1933 in Potsdam's Garrison Church in what became known as the "Day of Potsdam". This symbolised a coalition of the military (Reichswehr) and Nazism. Potsdam was severely damaged in bombing raids during World War II.

59: Glenicke Bridge
During the Cold War, Glienicke Bridge was one of the few places in the world where the Soviet Union and the Western powers stood directly opposite each other. Thus, “deals” could be made here without any of their allies having any say in the matter. The bridge lies at an isolated point where the US-occupied sector of West-Berlin met Soviet-occupied Potsdam, which was in East Germany.
The United States and the Soviet Union used it four times to exchange captured spies during the Cold War, and the Bridge was referred to as the Bridge of Spies by reporters.[2]
The first prisoner exchange between the superpowers took place on February 10, 1962. The U.S. released Soviet spy Colonel Rudolf Abel in exchange for U.S. spy-plane pilot Francis Gary Powers captured by the USSR following the U-2 Crisis of 1960.
The next swap took place on April 1964, when Konon Molody was exchanged for Greville Wynne.[3]
On June 12, 1985, there was a hurriedly arranged swap of 23 American agents held in Eastern Europe for Polish agent Marian Zacharski and another three Soviet agents arrested in the West.
The final exchange was also the most public. On February 11, 1986 the human rights campaigner and political prisoner Anatoly Sharansky ("Natan Shcharansky") and three Western agents were exchanged for Karl Koecher and four other Eastern agents.

Get there early: there is a 2000 person/day entry limit at Schloss (Castle) Sanssouci, a fabulous rococo palace with amazing interiors. One of the most noteworthy rooms in the palace is the Konzertsaal (concert hall) - dripping in rococo glory.

63: Weberviertel - The Weavers’ Quarter
Romantic weavers' cottages and streets named Tuchmacher (Clothworker street), Garn (Yarn street), and Spindel (Spindle street) are reminiscent of the old weavers colony Nowawes. The colony was built upon request of Frederick II, and it was Bohemian Protestants, given assurance of religious freedom and no taxation, who settled here )today's Babelsberg) after 1750.
The Weberplatz square, with the Friedenskirche (the Peace church) was and still is the center of this settlement. This house of God was built in 1752-53 from Johann Boumann's plans. The architect also designed the Holländischen Viertels - the Dutch Quarter. At one time, mulberry trees, which were used for the breeding of silkworms, were planted around the Weberplatz square and along the neighbouring streets. Today you will find a jumble sale and farmer's market here on weekends.

64: The Russian Colony Alexandrowka
The Alexandrowka colony was created in 1826-27 upon the request of Frederick Wilhelm III in memory of his deceased friend Czar Alexander I. The artist's village was built in the ground plan of a hippodrome, within which a St. Andrew's Cross is laid. The village consists of 12 yards, one warden's house at the point of intersection, a royal mansion, and a Russian Orthodox chapel (1829) on the neighbouring Kapellenberg hill in the north.
The artist's village of Glasowo, located in Pawlowsk park was the model for these unique architectural forms for farmsteads. The village's construction started in 1815 by request of Czar Alexander.
The arrangement was designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, and was simultaneously an illustration of the exemplary cultivation of fruit trees, which was considered necessary for the promotion of agriculture in Prussia, in the context of agrarian reform. The first inhabitants of this village were former members of a Russian soldier's choir. In 1999, the colony became part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Today, you are welcome in the Russian tea-room, which is now in the warden's house.

65: Holländisches Viertel - The Dutch Quarter
Residents and tourists are equally fond of the Dutch Quarter, which covers an area of four city blocks with about 150 houses built of red bricks in the Dutch style: unplastered, with white seams, shuttered windows, and sometimes, sweeping gables.
This ensemble of buildings is unique in Europe. It was built in the period from 1734 to 1742 for Dutch craftsmen who were invited to come to Potsdam by King Frederick Wilhelm I, the Soldier King. Johann Boumann was the head of construction for this quarter, and a museum dedicated to his work is to be found in Mittelstraße 8. Another museum about the history of this residential quarter is in the Benkertstraße 3. Stroll through the quarter and discover the many exclusive shops, cosy coffee houses, and restaurants, which, in addition to the architecture, define the special flair of this quarter.
