Castles and palaces around the world are structures of grandeur, might and beauty. From the flamboyance of Germany`s fairy tale-Neuschwanstein Castle to the gothic, Dracula-inspiring Bran Castle, perched high in the craggy peaks of Romania`s Carpathian Mountains; Tokyo`s Imperial Palace, previously home to samurai warriors to Ireland`s Blarney Castle, where `the gift of the gab` will be granted to any who kiss its stone, the world`s castles and palaces are steeped in history and stories to tell. Travel writer and journalist Gilly Pickup shares these stories, providing a tour of 50 of the world`s greatest castles and palaces, filled with humour, interesting facts and tips on how best to visit them.
