Prague Castle, Czech Republic

In a city where every street looks like a fairy tale, it's no surprise that the breathtaking Prague Castle would look like a fictional place. Built in the 880's, the 2000-year-old castle is still the largest castle in the world. You can just picture Harry and friends arriving to Hogwarts for the first time here. *Cue Hedwig's Theme*

Balfour Castle, United Kingdom

The Balfour Castle, despite its name, is actually not a castle, but rather a five-star hotel on the small island of Shapinsay in Orkney, United Kingdom. The exterior's regal-looking towers and spires give the perfect preview for the lavishly decorated Victorian interior. But fear not, the property's forest is far from forbidden, and was designed simply to provide privacy for the hotel.
