Stepping into a castle is like stepping into a time machine. These stone storytellers, once the epicenters of regal realms, now stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. They invite us to journey back to a time of gallant knights, ruling monarchs, and fairy-tale charm. (Who doesn't love a good fairy tale?) Here are 20 such castles, each with its unique tale to tell, that you can actually still visit. Karee Blunt
