Perched on top of a hill above the Moselle River, the Eltz Castle is a 12th-century castle that looks like something out of a fairytale. Guide tours of the building take approximately 40 minutes, and take visitors through the armory, the kitchen, and many other rooms and halls. Visitors are also welcome to take a self-guided tour of the treasury, which features a collection of world-class artwork. The castle is open to visitors between early April and early November, and if you want to avoid the crowds, the best time to come is before 11 a.m. or after 3 p.m.
