    Linderhof Palace is a fairytale brought to life—elegant, intimate, and surrounded by breathtaking gardens and forest. King Ludwig II’s dream is everywhere in the details. Smaller than Neuschwanstein, but more personal and enchanting. A hidden gem in Bavaria!

    刚出新手村的冒险者刚出新手村的冒险者

    If you are visiting Genoa by boat, this is a great place to visit especially with kids. The aquarium is only a 10-15 minute walk from the port so no transport is needed. The third child is free so big families can get tickets too. The visit takes about 2-3 hours and it is best to check if there is a dolphin show before you go as I didn't catch one the day I went.
