The Holy Island features several restaurants, pubs, cafes, the famous Priory and a castle.

Join the dog Slim Jim on his jaunt through the amazing sights and smells of the Christmas Market at Burg Satzvey.

The beautiful shuttle passed us and I was officially committed to hiking up to one of Germany’s most visited castles, Burg Hohenzollern.

I got to spend the night in Hever Castle and Gardens. Throughout the castle, there are various re-creations of Tudor-era rooms.

There are no longer prisoners in Lancaster Castle, but it is a government building where trials take place.

Romance, war, fairytales, misfortune; the stories of these historical landmarks are speckled throughout Europe. Serving as charming ruins or grand tourist sites, castles are one of the main attractions in the land of kings and queens. Narrowing down the most fabulous castles can be challenging.
