Castles

PRAGUE CASTLE
The castle complex is composed of palaces, courtyards, churches, and streets spread across the banks of the River Vltava.

LUDWIGSBURG CASTLE
This magnificent castle and its extensive grounds are often referred to as the Versailles of Southern Germany. The baroque palaces are one of the highlights of the German state of Baden-Württemburg.

Heidelberg
Heidelberg is the very image of romantic Germany. The city's 17th Century red sandstone castle ruin and the old bridge are two of the most majestic sights in all of Germany.
