A Magical Day Trip to Neuschwanstein Castle from Munich
Additional cost to enter the castle on tour: 24€ (Free for under 18)
Named the 8th wonder of the world, Neuschwanstein Castle is Germany’s most famous sight. A fantastical castle on a mountain perch in the Bavarian Alps, the Neuschwanstein Castle has inspired and amazed generations of visitors, among them Walt Disney. The castle from a fairy tale simply has to be seen to be believed – and the best way to do so is with our hassle-free day trip in the company of an expert guide who will take care of all arrangements and make sure you skip the long line to go inside.
The beautiful old town of Füssen, a short two hour journey from Munich, lies at the gateway to the Bavarian Alps. Just outside town, the picturesque old royal district of Hohenschwangau is framed with mountains, forests and lakes. Here, Hohenschwangau Castle can be found, the boyhood home of the future King Ludwig II. Above it, soaring to the sky from its lofty seat in the mountains, his great creation: Neuschwanstein Castle. Neuschwanstein is the most iconic sight in Bavaria and Germany.
Germany’s number one visitor attraction – “mad” king Ludwig II’s fairy tale castle among the clouds.
Ludwig, the most famous of the Bavarian kings, dotted the Bavarian countryside with spectacular royal building projects such as Linderhof Palace. But none outshine Neuschwanstein Castle. From the outside, Neuschwanstein looks like an impossible vision. All around are spectacular views of the Bavarian Alps, forests, lakes, the town of Füssen in the distance, and a stunning aerial view of Hohenschwangau Castle. Visit the castle interior and marvel at the sumptuously decorated rooms dedicted to the artistic glorification of medieval German Romance and the operas of Richard Wagner, such as in the elaborate and imposing Throne Hall. You will feel as if you have wandered on to a movie set.
