Day Trip to Neuschwanstein

One of the most photographed buildings in the world, Neuschwanstein Castle towers majestically on a rugged hill, like a fairy tale come to life. Beat the long visitor queues, take a glimpse at the private chambers, and marvel at splendid views while accompanied by an expert guide.

Meet your guide at Munich central station and start your journey. High above the medieval roofs stands an incredible sight: the ethereal former personal refuge of Bavaria's King Ludwig II. This graceful structure is among the best-known on earth. It even inspired Disney's Sleeping Beautycastle.

Your guide walks with you uphill to the castle's lofty perch. Roam the surroundings, where jaw-dropping views take your breath away. See the opulent Hohenschwangau Castle on top of a neighboring hill, right behind a waterfall gorge and the bridge spanning over it—a truly mesmerizing sight.

Opt for an internal tour of Neuschwanstein to skip the long lines and hear about the often turbulent reign of Ludwig II, as you wander through elegant halls and intimate private chambers.
