H
ere is something
about castles that inspires awe and at
the same time touches a gentler, more
romantic side in each of us.
And if you want to visit
some of the best castles
in the world, then
Europe should be
your destina-
tion as this
continent
certainly has
more than
its share.
Here are
the top 25
castles in
Europe, in
no
particular order.
Castle Neuschwanstein in Germany
For many of those that see this castle
for the first time, they get a niggling
feeling that Castle Neuschwanstein
looks so familiar. The reason for this
is that the castle looks so much like
the Disney castle in Florida! Indeed,
some have speculated that that
castle was modeled after the “real
thing” in Germany. One thing is
for sure, this massive castle is
quite breathtaking! Built in
the 1800s, the castle can be
found in Schwangau,
in the Bavarian Alps.
Peles Castle in Romania
Known as one of the most beautiful
castles in Europe, Peles Castle can be
discovered in the majestic Carpathian
Mountains, near the town of Sinaia,
Romania. There are 168 rooms in the
castle and only 35 are accessible
to the public. Recommended rooms
include Holul de Onoare, Sala Mare
De Arme, Sala De Teatru and Salonul
Turcesc . Unfortunately, guided tours
are only available of the ground and
first floors. Peles Castle is a must-see
destination in Romania.
