So, you like castles and Christmas markets? That means your ideal destination in Europe is Germany!

If you are dreaming of sipping mulled wine under a twinkling castle rampart, Germany is the place for you. 

Germany is dotted with magnificent castles, each with its own unique story. Consider the dramatic clifftop setting of Neuschwanstein, the inspiration for Cinderella's castle, which is located within day trip distance of Munich. Alternatively, head to Frankfurt where you'll find medieval castles running up and down the Rhine River between Mainz and Koblenz. 

There's a German castle to capture every imagination.

And during the festive season, Germany's cities, medieval towns, and castles are home to magical Christmas markets. 

You'll find rows of wooden stalls overflowing with handmade ornaments and the scent of roasted chestnuts filling the air. Grab a mug of glühwein and some hearty potato pancakes or lebkuchen to round out the experience.
