From the flamboyance of Germany''s fairy tale-Neuschwanstein Castle to the gothic, Dracula-inspiring Bran Castle, perched high in the craggy peaks of Romania''s Carpathian Mountains; Tokyo''s Imperial Palace, previously home to samurai warriors to Ireland''s Blarney Castle, where ''the gift of the gab'' will be granted to any who kiss its stone, the world''s castles and palaces are steeped in history and stories to tell.
