Some people have a great affection towards fairy tales and castles. They want to visit a place something like which they see in cartoons and they lastly give up with those dreams. But you do not have to do this because you can visit this kind of places. Yes, I am absolutely serious because there are so many castles which are now open for public, so which means you can also go there and all you need to do is to book your tickets, pack your bags and get going.

There are many castles all over the world and some of them are listed below:
