The most overlooked place in my city that tourists are unlikely to visit is an old castle on the edge of the city. This place is especially remarkable for a few reasons. Firstly, it is a huge old castle from a really old time that can show you all particular things from Bavarian history. Secondly, you can go through all rooms in this castle, you can have a really great time there, and you can see all the history of this place. It looks really inspiring and fascinating. If I hadn't visited it, I wouldn't have known a really great part of Bavarian history. I live in Munich and that's one of the most remarkable and fascinating places here. I found it by a complete fluke. I was talking to my flatmate and he just mentioned this place and I just asked him about it and he told me the story. And the next day I went to this place and I was fascinated. And usually it's not my cup of tea to visit places like that. However, this place has a particular part in my heart. If my mom visits me in this city, I will definitely show her this place. It's really worth visiting, because you will see an enticing view from the top of the castle.
