Central Europe has the largest collection of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one area. The town of Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic is a treasure of medieval, Gothic, and Baroque architecture. Budapest’s Buda Castle District is filled with ancient relics, a castle, and churches. But the real fairytale come to life are central Europe’s many medieval castles that seem to have sprung right out of a storybook.
