'Schloss and Park Sanssouci, Potsdam.'

Stairs climbing terraced vineyard garden towards the baroque Sanssouci palace, french for free of worries. This garden is the heart of the much larger, 290 ha Sanssouci Park, that itself is just the centerpiece of a whole chain of parks, gardens and palaces. Friedrich der Große (Frederick the Great) and generations of Prussian kings after him had these parks constructed along the banks of the Havel, a river that widens into an idyllic lake every few kilometers. The park landscape starts at Werder and reaches, via Potsdam, deep into Berlin. In the past the Glienicker Bridge, famous for its exchange of spies, divided this area. Since the German unification you can enjoy it as a whole and it has become a UNESCO World Heritage site. Photo Paul Smit.

 'Copa Kagrana.'

Nowadays young Viennese go to the new entertainment district at the Donau-Insel, the Island in the Danube, part of the Kagran quarter. It's better known under the nickname Copa Kagrana, because in summer it's hot here, the Brasilien way. The style of the bars along the water as well as the taste of the cocktails have something tropical, the rest of the architecture is colourful and modern. Vienna always had turned its back towards the Danube, but those days are over. Photo Paul Smit.

'Copa Kagrana.'

Nowadays young Viennese go crazy in the new entertainment district at the Donau-Insel, the Island in the Danube, part of the Kagran quarter. It's better known under the nickname Copa Kagrana, because in summer it's hot the Brasilian way here. The style of the bars along the water as well as the taste of the cocktails have something tropical, the rest of the architecture is colourful and modern. It's the end of the days that Vienna turned its back towards the Danube.  Photo Paul Smit.
