Steeped in hundreds of years of history and with stories embedded in their walls, there are plenty of reasons castles across the world continue to attract visitors.
Standing tall as royal or noble fortifications, castles have been at the centre of some of the most significant historic events in the world, and many are still used as important cultural and political establishments today. Even better, a number of castles even let guests stay in regal rooms and cosy chambers, and a few will let visitors rent out the entire grounds.
