6. Neauschwanstein castle- Walt Disney went and visited that castle and that's where he got the inspiration for the Disney Castle. That's the original castle used in "chitty chitty bang bang" also..

Schloss Hochenschwagenau sits directly across from Nueschwanstein (New Swanstone) that just happens to be Sleeping Beauty's castle.

Why not Burg Eltz in Germany, it's too magical.

I toured the Neuschwanstein (New Swanstone) Castle last spring. It was so beautiful! Definitely worth the long haul up to the top of that giant ass hill!
