The viaduct was built over a century ago, which makes it all the more fascinating.

Keizersgracht, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The Keizersgracht, which also goes by the name of ‘Emperor’s Canal’, is Amsterdam’s widest canal with a width of well over a hundred feet. The canal, just like the one in Venice we talked about earlier, is dotted by wonderful architecture on either side of the canal. While many have been rebuilt into luxury flats, the original facades remain intact.

Hallstatt Village, Austria

The Hallstatt village is located near the Lake Hallstatt in Austria. The background looks gorgeous with the rugged mountains and you can easily visit the place by boat. The place seems untouched by the modern chaos and noise with its gorgeous colored houses and cobbled streets that date back to as long as the early sixteenth century.

Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Italy

One out of the five towns under the UNESCO Cinque Terre site, Vernazza is truly a spectacular wonder you should definitely visit. The town boasts of a harbor with multi-colored residences and fishing hamlet place that are some of the most amazing things you can spot here.

Why visit? Vernazza was heavily damaged due to floods some time ago. You should check it out before it is damaged even further. Also, if you’re a wine lover, you would love the local wine known as ‘Vernaccia’.

Neuschwanstein Castle, SW Bavaria, Germany

The Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany is situated on a hilltop and shadows the Hohenschwangau valley located in south-western Bavaria. If you’re into castles and forts, this is a place you cannot miss out on visiting. Built in the late nineteenth century, the heating systems and plumbing works in the castle were considered a modern marvel at the time it was built. It continues to attract tourists thanks to its amazing architecture.

Why visit? Neuschwanstein Castle is known by many as the ‘fairytale castle’ largely thanks to its exterior walls, which have a multi-turreted design. We can’t comment on whether the architecture was meant to be inspired by a fairy tale or the fairy tales were actually inspired by this castle, you can decide that for yourself when you visit this castle.
