Great places to visit in Europe

I think nothing can ever beat Europe when it comes to vacation. It is one of the most luxurious countries to visit and there are also so many things to do there and breathtaking sights to discover. Because it is quite expensive to be in Europe, not everyone has the chance to go there. But there is no reason to stop from dreaming because who knows one day an opportunity will knock and you will be flying to Europe before you know it.

Gillette Castle State Park

High on the hill overlooking the beautiful Connecticut River between Lyme and Haddam is the site of one of the most unique castles constructed as private residences in New England during the late 1880’s and early 1900’s. Gillette Castle was designed and built between 1914 and 1919 by William Gillette, an actor who gained fame and fortune for his early stage portrayals of Sherlock Holmes at the turn of the century.
