Neuschwanstein Castle tour:
Situated a two-hour drive from Munich, you'll find the charming town of Füssen nestled at the base of the Alps, surrounded by a stunning natural landscape. Perched high above the village, seemingly carved into the mountains, stands the magnificent and otherworldly Neuschwanstein Castle. Constructed in the 19th century by the renowned "mad" King Ludwig II, a man fixated on mythology who himself became a legendary figure.
This castle served as the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle and is renowned worldwide as the ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Castle’. Your guide will share the full tale of the castle, complete with its humor, romance, and tragedy. This German excursion will surely leave a lasting impression!
Itinerary
The tour starts in the morning from Munich Central Train Station opposite platform 32. Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you will take a two hour guided train journey south of Munich to the town of Fussen, located at the foothills of the Bavarian Alps.
Proceed to the Neuschwanstein Castle, towering far above the village. It was built in the 19th century by the famed “mad” King Ludwig II, a man obsessed with myth and who himself became a legend.
Your tour includes a return train journey to and from the Alps with stops at various vantage points around the grounds of the castle in the foothills of the mountains. Enjoy views of the lake, the Marienbrücke bridge suspended above the castle and various other panoramic viewpoints.
The guide will give you a presentation on the story behind the castle. You can also visit the castle from the inside (optional, involves an additional cost of 17€, for adults). The internal tour of the castle is conducted by a separate castle guide. Reserve in advance with your group and save yourself the agony of standing in a long queue!
At the end of a splendid castle tour, you will return back to Munich Central Train Station by train.
