There are no boundaries to the imagination in this kingdom of castles and palaces—princesses and knights, myths and legends, fairy tales, dramas, and love stories, as well as knights’ feasts and the Nibelungenlied. Numerous world-famous and stunning ancient fortifications may be found in Germany, which is thought to have 25,000 of them. Get lost in the history brought to life by these walls!
The Pride of Hannover
The Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen are one of the most exquisite parks in all of Europe, created in the Baroque style by the House of Orange. The Grand Fountain, the highest in any European garden at 82 meters, and other unique old trees, such a cucumber magnolia from 1794, can be found in the complex’s Great Garden, which also serves as its center. The Berggarten’s diverse ecosystem supports regions of prairie and marshes, orchid collections, a rainforest, cacti, and a tropical conservatory, all for the enjoyment of visitors.
The Baroque era in all its glory
Few European monarchs achieved the dream of a royal dwelling as opulently as Baroque kings did with the Ludwigsburg Castle, which was once a humble hunting lodge and is now a vast, three-winged palace. Visitors on a tour of the rooms experience an impressive voyage through several architectural eras and styles, taking in magnificent suites, sumptuous ballrooms, and rich flats decorated in opulent baroque, whimsical rococo, and graceful classicism.
