Even from afar, the Glücksburg Castle is impressive. It picturesquely sits by a lake in the heart of Glücksburg and is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Within its centuries-old walls, you can feel like a prince or princess and wander around the chambers of former kings and nobles.

For the fearless, there's also a less cozy basement where historical torture instruments are displayed. Creepy!

A walk through Glücksburg is a good idea in nice weather. Even better - and ideal in bad weather - is viewing the town and its lovely surroundings from the water.
